Club members ignored threats of rain and got some great shots of wildflowers and waterfalls.

The Table Mountain area is an Ecological Reserve that reaches peak blooming in March and early April.  Created by ancient lava flows, the approximately 3,300 acre Reserve is an elevated basalt mesa with beautiful vistas of spring wildflowers, waterfalls, lava outcrops, and a rare type of vernal pool, called Northern Basalt Flow Vernal Pools. Typically fissures in the basalt soak up winter rains, forming seasonal streams and waterfalls. In a few places, however, the underlying basalt is impermeable to water forming a temporary pool. Soon to dry up after rains end, only specialized plants and animals adapted to this habitat can survive over time.
