On 02/28/2018, Bob Croke, Harvey Smith, Ron Ziance and I came out to the China Date Ranch for a day of hiking and some fresh baked date bread. Once we reached the ranch, because Ron had never been here before, we decided to re-hike two areas that the rest of us had hiked on previous visits; the Slot Canyon Trail and a portion of the Ranch View Trail.
