I led my first Winter Walk of the season for the Cascadians on this sunny, cool day. We took the Potholes Wildlife Area - Dunes Ramble as described in the Best Desert Hikes book (#74). We walked about 2 miles out before having lunch & then walking back. The weather was beautiful, but the hike was a little disappointing in other ways. We didn't see much wildlife (3 deer, 2 blue herons, & a few songbirds) though there were lots of tracks in the sand, large & small. There also was not much attractive vegitation - no cattails, reeds, or grasses to speak of. I think that this is probably a much nicer spring hike. Nonetheless, we all had a good time.
