South From Alaska

Just starting out
Becca and I got an early start on our explorations west of Tortugas Mountain this morning, but our trek was devoid of any interesting encounters with denizens of the northern Chihuahuan Desert.  Just as we were about to finish our hike, though, we bumped into JC and Olivia, a pair of snowbirds from way up north in Alaska.  We talked briefly about the Superbowl and the mental well-being of our current president before going our separate ways.
