I decided to get to CER via the Los Coches Rd, finding a gate behind a shopping complex. It was an uphill fire road where I made lots of observations including Mimulus aurantiacus (pale yellow and orange), M. puniceus, Castillejas affinis, Claytonia and many more. This included exploring a few small trails.
It seems, however, that I made all observations prior to getting to the second gate and, technically speaking, possibly outside of CER's boundaries, as the Google map indicates. I will have to verify if land acquisition might include this area.
It was none-the-less a greatly rewarding experience, as usual.
