With our playground closed I made a foray in the Los Padres down Piru Creek

It was good to get out of the smoke for a while!

This tarantula posed for a photo!

From how it sounds, its not very scenic ...maybe only when it can be kayaked then...have you thought about doing Ruby canyon from Whitaker peak down to Piru Creek? Maybe thats the better bet?
