It's been a great day for seeing wildflowers! We've now visited three spots in the Antelope Valley where California poppies and other wildflowers are blooming. First we drove to a field of blooms we spotted from the road. Then we visited the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve State Park. That was seed (heh) of our plan for today, though it turned out to have the sparsest blooms of the three places we visited. The third is a a drive along a dirt road east of the park we just finished. Here's a video I stitched together:
We've seen so many wildflowers now we're kind of numb to them at this point. We're going to do some rock-hounding next for a change of pace. Then we'll pack it in and head to Bakersfield for the night. Tomorrow will be another day hunting wildflowers!
