Ceanothus spinosus



I have a friend who often plans her road and camping trips around hot springs. I’ve often thought I’d like to plan mine around petroglyphs and pictographs. So I was very happy to discover there were petroglyphs in walking distance of our camp site.
We also visited Lahaina, which is showing little recovery from the devastating wildfire of August 2023. But there’s still some good restaurants in town.






At the ruins of the Roberts Ranch House in Solstice Canyon (destroyed by fire in 1982), native and non-native plants vie for sunlight. Bird of paradise, ginger, bananas and limes grow under and between oaks, sycamores, and toyon.
