Pomona, CA
Everyone had left and made their ways back to wherever home was. My brother and his wife were the only guests remaining. He had tried to get a flight out a day ahead of schedule (who could blame him after spending that much time with yours truly!?!) but this was not a success. They decided to follow E and I to our next stop just outside of L.A. in a place called Pomona.
We arrived at a GREAT campground just outside of town with one heck of a view. It was SO nice there that my brother and his wife inquired about staying there as well.
Luckily, E and I had a tent and camping supplies.
While on a walk to take pictures of the stunning views of mountains and lake, my brother and his wife encountered one of our scaley covered friends from the herpetological world. They QUICKLY came to tell us all about it. Since snakes don’t particularly bother me, I decided to go say hello with E’s camera.
At first glance, I thought it was a Kingsnake, which of course would not be a friendly encounter, but it turned out to be a desert glossy snake.
We all sat out around a campfire that night and had campfire dogs and S’mores. There might have even been a beer or two.
It was a great evening.
The next morning, we loaded up, said our goodbyes, and headed out. Next stop - Pismo Beach!
