100 Fahrenheit Re-Entry

Sotols growing alongside the Grand View Trail

The high temperature in High Rolls is supposed to be 84 F.  Unfortunately, we were only able to spend the morning doing a hike on our old standby, the Grand View Trail, before heading back to the lower Chihuahuan Desert, where it's supposed to be 100 F.  Only a sixteen-degree difference, some might say, but, man, do those degrees make a difference.  Right now (2:50 pm) we have the evaporative cooler on full blast and the fans on in the living room and patio enclosure.  Yikes!
