One thing about vacation - it takes me a week to catch up on work! Margene and I took off Saturday morning to Castle Crags for a night of camping and hiking, and got back Sunday afternoon.  I have spent the last week trying to catch up with myself.  I had 435 e-mails when I got in Monday morning.....

Castle Crags was beautiful, but hot!  Saturday, after we set up camp, we went on the River Trail.  I spent most of the walk trying to get a good photo of the lilies that were blooming.  I don't know that I ever succeeded.  At least the walk up the Sacramento River was cooler than hanging out in camp.

There were other flowers along the trail as well.
