Duhig Rd - Las Amigas to Hwy. 121 - July 28, 2010

Walking Distance: 4.4 miles (3.2 + 1.2 mi., 2 segments combined)
Walking Time(s):
1.) 1 hr., 5 min. (4:12 - 5:17 p.m.)
2.) 36 min. (5:50 - 6:26 p.m.)
Start and Stop Point(s):
1.) Unpaved pull-out area, Duhig Road, Napa, CA
2.) Narrow, unpaved shoulder, Duhig Road, Napa, CA

Duhig Road was fairly quiet, that is, there were not as many cars roaring by on this road as many others in the county. It was also mid-week, which probably didn't hurt either.

I walked to the north end of Duhig Road, where it merged into Highway 121/Carneros Highway. At that intersection, stood the chateau-like Domaine Carneros building/facility (shown).

Wildlife Sightings:
 14 little brown jobs (LBJs); 1 mockingbird; 1 crow; 6 turkey vultures; 2 doves; 4 unidentified flying bugs (UFBs); 1 rusty screw; 2 dragonflies; 4 swallows; 1 smallish, yellowish-white butterfly/moth; 1 lizard; and 3 (panicky) killdeer.
