Botanical Garden 6/24/17

President Jones told us about the botanical garden behind the City Hall and towards the Cross.  We scheduled to do the hike on Saturday, June 21, before staff meeting.  We were having a breakfast meeting at the mission home to discuss the transfer.  We got up at 5:45 so we could get back in time for the Andruses to come over as they were doing German Pancakes.

 Along the trail were markers of what the plant was.

 "The sea once it casts its spell holds one in its net of wonder forever."

 We climbed steep stairs to get to the top.  Dell made the comment "stairway to heaven." I said "I hope not." 

 Rocky!

 This is overlooking the avenues.

 This is the same spot but looking to the ocean.

 This road goes to the Cross.

 It's crazy that it took almost three years to find this hike as every six weeks we would drive to the cross.

This is driving back from the gardens.
