beautiful Friday for a hike on the island, so I biked on down to the north coast (dirt) highway, parked my bike along the road, and headed on into Nick Crilley Canyon. \u00a0This is likely the largest and deepest canyon on the northern coast\/side of San Nicolas Island. \u00a0The upper portion of the canyon extends southward to between Nicktown and the airfield. \u00a0And, the canyon was named by me for my nephew. \u00a0Isn&#8217;t that sweet?!<\/p>\n<p>Rainfall has been rare on the island since last winter. \u00a0A storm in January dropped a half inch or so and caused some streamflow in the canyon. \u00a0Some mushy spots, cracked earth, and green grass were along canyon bottom, but there was no running water or stream. \u00a0A small pool or two had water. \u00a0These images were with the 15mm wide-angle lens.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
