The rolling hills of Ojai were the setting for the Pink Bragade’s November walk. To extend the timeline for adventure, the group rented a house in Ojai and went up early on Saturday to enjoy the town and beautiful location. That’s when the fun began which always seems to happen when one or more gather in the name of the Pink Bragade.

Despite the revelry of Saturday night, the group faithfully got up for an early start to walk on Sunday as planned.  Before the day was over, they had treaded over 9 miles exploring a new route in the region that has been a tradition since the team’s beginnings.  Wendy picked the route which took them through the hills and away from the highway around Lake Casitas and even under a fence to get out. 🙂

Thanks to the recommendations from a few odd fellows they met along the way, they took a side jaunt that led them to an Eagle’s nest and the sighting of a bald Eagle in flight. Further along the hike, they met two other locals…donkeys behind a fence that eagerly approached for some bites of Lori’s apples.

Though their meandering took a bit longer than planned and they missed the market, the group did happen upon a great new Mexican restaurant…Agave Maria’s…which served excellent tangerine margaritas.

To complete the weekend on the way home, both cars made a stop at a fabulous nursery which they had come across during the walk.  Of course, while they were there everyone found a few things they had to bring home, so a trip back with the cars was a must.  Chalk up another unique adventure for the team.
