On Wednesday, we did some more hiking with our friends Mike & San from Redlands. We cjose the Fisherman's Camp trail in the nearby Cleveland National Forest. Its on the way to the Tenaja Falls that we visited earlier this year.

The trail was not a loop but an in & out 1.7 miles each way. There was a loop trail but that would have added another 4 miles to the hike and would require hiking uphill along the road on the return trip. We opted not to to that. The Fisherman's Camp trail was cut into the side of the hills and gently sloped down, meaning we would be climbing uphill on our way back! The hike was very enjoyable and we reach the camp with ease where we rested and had a bite to eat.

After resting we hiked the return trip up the trail to the trail head. About halfway up the trail, I took a small detour and found where all the "Fairies" live. There were little statues placed in the side of the hill. Who put them there? They could not be seen from the trail. Surely is a mystery!

After we got back to the trail head, we decided to go see if the Tenaja Falls were running since it had rained recently. There was not much water running, but we decided to hike up there anyway, another .7 miles each way. By the time we got back down to the stream crossing, we were tired which probably caused Elly to slip and hit her chin on a smooth boulder. She's OK, but there is a bruise and she is a little sore.
After we got back home, rested a little, we were off the see the Christmas lights at Bainbridge Circle again. This made three trips so far!. The lights were as spectacular as ever! Dinner at Elly's favorite restaurant with our friends culminated a great day! This was the last time we will be seeing our friends before we leave! We are now starting to say our goodbyes to all the friend we have made out here in California. So Sad.
