This 3rd post is about . . .

the way nature can change so dramatically. In 10 miles we went from forest to chapparal. In other words we went from high mountain, shady, majestic trees and an underbelly of shrubs and berries, to low shrubs, dirt, low shrubs, dirt and things that hurt when you touch them. Please see these pictures for the differences. The first picture is in the forest as well as the pictures from the first post in this trilogy. The next two pictures are taken in chapparal.
