Went here today and found some really neat stuff. Figured I would share some pictures! Enjoy.

Footpath

Waterfall

Mi Madre

Banded Gecko, there were quite a few of them in the same place!

The Pondlakeriver thing

Bridge

If you are ever in the area, I highly suggest just taking a look around. It is very neat and worth the walk.

Very cool pictures. I'll have to go check out the park I helped restore when I was a zoo volunteer. I bet it looks great now.

Thanks Heather. It was really nice to go check it out, hikes/walks are always refreshing.

Great pics!! The banded gecko is adorable. Glad you had fun on your herping expedition I spent the day skeet shooting

Skeet shooting? Sounds frightening.

There were like, FOUR! OR FIVE?! It was really cool... and really small. I touched it!
