Sounds like a nice trip! One I'd like to try some day.
Had an interesting experience on my commute this morning. While I was negotiating a modest but bumpy downhill maybe a mile from the house a coyote ran across the road about 20ft in front of me with a rabbit in its mouth. Other than being peace-loving and creating a Disney-like environment the rabbits seem to be an inert element in the world here except for one thing. They, or at least these, love to eat zinnias. Zinnias are also attractants for hummingbirds and monarch butterflies (endangered even if not officially designated so). Keeping rabbits out of the zinnia patch requires some creative use of fine-mesh fencing. It's nice to see they serve another purpose in the great cycle of eat-or-be-eaten.
