Cooler Hike

Canine checking out canid den

Ran into Jimmy after about a half mile and talked to him for fifteen minutes.  He'd gotten an early start, and we were a bit late getting started.  He'd been to the top of Tortugas and back, and we were headed for the outback.  We saw White-Toyota-Tacoma-Man's truck, but we never saw him.  After that, just a good, old-fashioned solitary hike--man and dog.
