Saw a coyote at the top of Engelsmans in Wilder today, in Native American culture, coyote is an important messenger of personal transformation through self-reflection. Time to lighten up for the Holidays and have some fun! Another controled burn in Wilder and the forest is happy to return to the traditional methods of the Ohlone. #BikeTooter #mntbike #ohlone #SantaCruzMountains #MontereyBay
