Palm Canyon hike

Nothing as exciting as the outings some of you guys are doing but i went for a good hike up Palm Canyon on Friday. Started at Hermit's Bench and turned around at the stream crossing south of Indian Potrero. Good flow of water in the creek. Didn't see anyone on my way out but did come across a skinny-dipping couple in the creek on my way back! Shocked

Have some photos on flickr here ► http://www.flickr.com/photos/fboyd/sets ... 88/detail/

And a short self-narrated video of trail here ► http://youtu.be/yFzfy1lz4fw

What, no pictures of the skinny dipping couple? You have no zoom lens? What's wrong with you man?

JK, of course. There's only a few things more fun than skinny dipping in a stream on a hot afternoon. It's all the more fun because it's just a little scandalous.

Beautiful pics as usual Florian. Hope to get out that way very soon (I've actually been in Palm Springs the past two weekends, but I've been at Soak City with my critters) and actually enjoy some trail time. If I can get this old body to cooperate.

Even ran into Walt, huh? I'm hopin' to see that guy on the trail too. I miss all the crazy hikin' fools. See you all soon.
