Hurkey Creek Park
This past weekend, we went camping at Hurkey Creek Park which is a Riverside County Park located within the San Bernardino National Forest.
The weather was pleasant, although it was a tad warm during the day, mostly due to the fact that we probably had the least shade of any campsite in the entire park! While we didn’t do any real hiking, we did go for a short walk up the trail that parallels the creek. After about a half hour of walking, we turned towards the creek for some much needed toe dipping. We spent the better part of 2 hours just lounging by the creek on a rock that was perfectly suited for such activities. While we were relaxing I spotted a number of California Tree Frogs! As many of you may know, I am a highly experienced frog hunter, so this was exciting for me. Unfortunately, Ace (my sister’s yellow Labrador Retriever) is now also an expert frog hunter. Fortunately he only got one of the frogs which is far less damage to the population than a friend of mine and I did on many of our hunting expeditions, of course those expeditions had scientific value so all was not lost.
I will post some pictures as well as a map using Google Earth [see previous post].
