A Van Camper is great for a day trip to the HTP at the Pruitt Trailhead.
You have everything you need when you finish your hike. You can make a cup of coffee and enjoy a snack out of the refrigerator....oh and go to the bathroom! And sit down to eat!
We know we'll enjoy taking it on other days trips but of course Halpata Tastanaki Preserve is one of my favorite destinations and it's close to home.
These are the first American Kestrels I've seen in awhile.
I took pics of this one and then when I started to move down the trail, it flew and so did a second one.
So I think I caught a male and female traveling together.
We might see a Kestrel from time to time during the year, but more of them are here in the winter months.
Dragonfly
Bagworm
And don't forget to look UP!
The clouds looked like feathers and I saw a little pile of real feathers too.
There are still lots of Flycatchers at the preserve.
A view of the trail and my turn around point.
(get a drink of water and make the turn)
Time for some relaxation in the van before heading home.
Do you enjoy day trips?
