Yet Another Rainy Day

Clouds slipped down over the Organ Mountains

It rained for several hours late yesterday afternoon and then into the evening.  It also rained overnight.  It was raining when we woke up this morning.  I used an online weather site to determine when there'd be a long enough break for me to take Becca out to Tortugas Mountain.  We timed it just right, starting at a midway point on the trail along the north side where I knew it wouldn't be quite as muddy as other spots.  We were able to get in a moderately-long trek before heading back.  It rained some more on the way home.
