Today I went looking for a bit of nature to immerse myself in. This is my favorite time of year and it's a sunny day, with temps just about perfect (17-19 C).
I found a tiny nature area with a 1 mile trail that promised a small waterfall.
Spoiler: we're in a horrific drought

No waterfall. Not even a stream. 
The 1 mile turned out to be over rather challenging (for potato-shaped me) terrain. Lots of rocks and ledges. Lots of climbing up and down. Thankfully I found a sturdy stick to assist my short limbs.
But it was worth it.

Literally not one other person there.
Near the trailhead is a little cache box on a post. Wearing a knit hat.

Inside the box was a random assortment of notes and gum (?) and some trash.
I hope so, Bill T, I hope so...

About halfway round the trail loop was the remains of a house. Nothing standing but the chimney and hearth.
