On Friday evening, July 23, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., I’ll lead a Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the sunset followed by the moonrise. We’ll gradually hike about 1.25 miles each way to a vista point with some elevation gain on a well-worn, dirt fire road with some uneven footing in places. Before sunset, we’ll stop along the way to meet some valuable edible and medicinal plants, possibly including:
Blue Elderberry
Black Walnut
Toyon
Black & Purple Sage
Coastal Sagebrush
Prickly-Pear
After witnessing the sunset and moonrise, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight, moonlight, and flashlight, returning to the trailhead at about 9:30 p.m.
The state reopened the full economy on June 15 and the County of Ventura told me I no longer need to have a COVID19 Prevention Plan in place. So I’m returning to business as usual, just requesting that unvaccinated participants wear a mask. Those who attest to being vaccinated do not need to wear one. I will not be checking vaccination cards. Of course, anyone who wishes to can wear a mask.
Rain or chance of thunderstorms will cancel the hike. No dogs or smoking, please.
