Tuesday Hike

Soaptree Yuccas in the Tortugas Mountain foothills
You can't beat this kind of weather for a mid-December day.  Although it was chilly this morning, we're headed for a high of 71 F (22 C).

We saw no other hikers in the Chihuahuan Desert, and we appreciated the solitude.  It gives you a lot of time to think, which I do a lot.  Becca, however, is living completely in the "now."
