of teepees at Lake Selmac that were put up by Mondragon
and other CEEN volunteers, Jill Talise and Suzanne Vautier
starting the Friday before.
On Saturday, April 17 Vautier and Mondragon of CEEN led
a wildflower hike at Rough and Ready Botanical Wayside.
Vautier, who has been doing this hike for 11 years, told the
group of 12 about the special rocks and soil in the wayside
called serpentine and pointed out many rare flower and
plant species. (Flower photos by Laura Mancuso: clockwise

fritillaria and shooting star.)
