2026 Diablo Day 46 - Saturday Morning Juniper

First live tarantula spotting for the year - a few switchbacks before Junction.  I stopped for a close-up.

Didn't see anybody I knew today, but near Tank Road a guy descending yelled "Hey Scott!" and I yelled "Hey!" like I knew who he was.

There were a lot of signs about a trail run, especially near the road crossings; but I didn't see anybody running.  Lots more hikers than usual... maybe it's the tarantulas.

The Junction Ranger Station is all boarded up like they don't even use it anymore. The display window is empty, the door is papered over, nobody is ever there. 


I gave this guy the thumb-extension salutation. He replied with a chin nod.




HEY SCOTT!
