Honorable mention to Pine and some of his friends who showed up late (thanks to a big accident on 680 that many of us were delayed by) and hiked to Rose Peak. There was also a Bon sighting on another peak adjacent to Goat Rock. I didn't see him after the hike, so I don't know if he made it to Goat Rock or not.
