Drove out to McCain Valley yesterday for a dayhike. Went to the end of McCain Valley Rd and then just kept going. There's an abandoned dirt road heading north but it's pretty hard to follow. Was mainly cloudy and foggy with brief rain showers throughout the day but great to be out of the heat. The scenery sure has change out there.
McCain Valley Road, Now, there's a second row of power poles for the wind turbines.

The turbines are going up quickly. Already a bunch of towers in place behind Lark Canyon. Assuming everyone quit work when the thunderstorm rolled through...

Meandered up the valley till I got to the start of the steep descent into Canebrake. This is a from a rocky promintory overlooking Canebrake. Great expansive views.

The sky had mainly cleared on the way out. More pics of how things have changed.
