A Rotaract Night Hike First

Last night a group of us headed up to San Ysidro Trail for our monthly full moon night hike. We’ve seen tarantulas, rattlesnakes and a scorpion before, but on this hike we spotted our first millipede. [Editor's note: We did not actually count the legs to confirm that it is not a centipede, but we made an educated guess. Is there an entymologist in the room?]

Thanks to everyone who joined the hike and star gazing. Since the moon was hiding on the other side of the canyon, we had great views of the night sky. We learned a couple of things about astronomy from Kellen.
