I don't know how a simple hike turned into me deciding I wanted to turn the essence of scrub oak into a bowl of ice cream, but I gotta say, it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. This stuff rips, honks, slaps, rules. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
Also, hey! It's a surprise map episode! Wasn't really expecting that myself, but hey, you're welcome Colorado! Gambel oak, my favorite oak.
