Turkey Vulture
Cathartes aura		 1 mile uphill to
the trailhead		 Me, Diana, Al,
Isabel and Don		 Most of the trails
were dirt roads		 There were many
steep uphill trails		 Some trails were
overgrown		 Some areas had
poison oak		 Looking across
at Mt. Diablo

We meet Mary
and Michele		 Happy cows The stream that
feeds the falls		 Isabel and Don
nearing the falls		 Trail to the falls The trail gets a
little hazardous		 The bedrock
formed the falls		 Just before the
plunge

Taking the
plunge		 We made an effort
to climb down		 The base of
the falls		 Murietta Falls I don't think this
was a shortcut		 Starting back
towards Livermore		 A few goats Lichen Park
