No way, is that a folding table in one of the pics?

Wow, we've had some weather here lately. I guess this isn't going to  
be a mild spring after all. I hope I didn't jinx it with my  
prediction last month. Sorry about that. :(

Here is a trip report from a trip in the wilderness near Santa  
Barbara where I usually go hiking.
Two people go for a backpack on the Sisquoc River:

If nothing else, look at the FOOD they ate! Wow, that's almost enough  
to make me switch to heavy trucker mode.

Here's a video of the river. This is pretty far upstream along this  
river. I can only imagine what it looked like downstream at the  
confluence of the Manzana and the Sisquoc, where they had been two  
days earlier.

What do you suppose Hauser Creek looked like last weekend? Or  
Whitewater Creek! I bet that's one scary creek!

Dozens of people were rescued last weekend including a cub scout  
troop and three Sierra Club groups out backpacking. Nobody expected  
it. If you all think So Cal is the desert, well, maybe not so much  
this year.

My new prediction: Lots of little creeks will be flowing in So Cal  
meaning where the guide book says "seasonal stream" it'll be in  
season! Oops. Hope I didn't jinx that, too. But none of you whipper- 
snappers use the guide book anymore so never mind.
