Our winners today 🍍

🥇 My California - Crafts Peak by Hive account@derekrichardson

I had planned to camp on the actual top of the peak, but I didn't quite make it. A late start combined with snow on the road that made the hike longer than expected made it to where I would've had to hike to the top in the dark and I wasn't feelin' it. So I found a real nice area about a half mile below the summit and hung my hammock for the night.

🥈 Uritorco Hill and El Zapato Dam - Cerro Uritorco y Dique El Zapato by Hive account@pablo1601

Very close to it, crossing the route, we find the El Zapato Dam, a great water mirror formed by the confluence of several rivers and streams that is used by several nearby towns to provide them with water, besides being a great space for the practice of sports activities such as water sports and sport fishing.

🥉 Bahia de las Aguilas, Pedernales, Dominican Republic. by Hive account@tripode

The strangest thing, at least for me, is that it has no palm trees and the vegetation is very different from the beaches I have known. It's kind of dry, if you look at just the side of the vegetation it looks like a desert.
