Monday Hike

Old Torrey Yucca
We got out on the trail this morning before the coming windstorm.  It's supposed to get bad this afternoon.  Wind in the desert is the enemy of allergy sufferers.  45 mph sustained winds with gusts to 60 mph will pollute the air with sand and dust.  But our hike was pleasant, mostly overcast at the start, but clearing up later.  Becca, not surprisingly, thoroughly enjoyed herself.
