It was so windy out there this morning that my hat blew off my head; good thing I had the leather tie cinched under my chin.  We saw a woman hiking with a red bandana over her nose and mouth.  She was very friendly and said "hello."  I was going to say, "You're not going to rob anybody, are you?" but fought against the urge.  The Sunset Area parking lot was sparsely populated when we got back to the trailhead, but we saw Jimmy pulling in.  I made the mistake of saying "There's Jimmy" to Becca, who immediately got over-excited.  Jimmy is one of her best buds.
