Today saw the rain still coming down but Gabriel, my trusty
motorcycle, and I decided to plant that stamp. It is carved in honor
of a lady whose moniker is Blue Moon Hawk.

The drive to Lopez is beautiful. Right near the park is the only
orange grove I know of in the county. Today the orange blossoms were
intoxicating.

The box is close to a ranger's hut and may be under observation. Be
cool about getting it and putting it back. You do not have to enter
the park to get the box.

While I did not see any poison oak, there may well be some. Also
rattlesnakes and such do live out there. Be careful reaching into
strange areas.
