took the fam to the Pulgas Temple via the Sheep Camp Trail, saw flowers, saw water, saw lizard, saw deer, saw snek, not bad for a 'burbs hike!

the first time I came out here in '17 we took a more boring route and saw none of these things save the water, go figure.

There is a reflecting pool lined with cypress trees.
