Moments in Dirt and Ink

Sketch for the month of January that were "in situ", as it were. A bit of water and green flowing along . Then I suddenly find myself far away.

Los Padres National Forest Map link. I decided to go hiking down in the Ojai area, specifically a little trail I keep seeing the sign for when just barely out of the city going along highway 33. It just says Cozy Dell, which sounds nice and unexpected so close to the city, and usually has a few cars near it. Looking up the trail, I found it isn't a very long thing, but looking at the map, I could see that it actually connects with an unimproved road which further connects to some more trails. I decided upon a route that would head up the canyon on the road to where it ended at a couple springs, then head back to the intersection and head up to a campground as my turn around point. I printed out the upper right corner of the Matilija quad and took off for the trail. Orange groves and such down in the valley as the road wiggles its way toward Wheeler Gorge.
