Sun Day

On the trail around Tortugas
Dr. K, Becca and I headed out from the Monte Vista side of Tortugas Mountain this morning, enjoying the warmth of a late-January day in the desert.  Unfortunately, some jerk was out shooting his gun, round after round that echoed and reverberated against the mountain.  This kept up for 2/3 of the hike, long after I'd expended every pejorative term I could come up with:  e.g. "idiot," "moron," "imbecile."  We came upon a deer leg, looking very much at first like a small log next to a rock.  It was probably carried there by a coyote.

Looking back at the way we came
