Sierra Vista Hike

the sun was in my way... but this is the ladder that Mark's Dad and Uncles would climb up into the tree for their deer hunting.  There are more ladder parts and then they sat way up in the tree waiting for the deer.  We didn't see any deer, but lots of hoof prints.  Mostly we saw squirrels, LOL

We had a bit of rain, thunder & lightening and some hail on the east foothills here this past Saturday.  Then on Sunday it was a bright sunny day with great clouds. We decided to go check out the new parking lot for the Sierra Vista trail and hike on down to the Ranch. 

Click on the photos to embiggen - and see if you can pick out any Santa Clara County landmarks!  I see the place that Erin works at now!
