I stop briefly at the old corral on the way down Morning Star Mine Road

Good morning! A butterfly frolics in some encelia flowers by my tent
I see some purple flowers poking through the brush also (paper-bag bush, I think), so maybe he's trying to get to those as well. My breakfast ritual of strong coffee, granola, nuts and dried fruit was satisfying; now it's time to pack up and go.
