Cloud Cooled Trek

First 5:  cooling cloud cover

The Heelers and I got a real break this morning; cloud cover saved us from broiling in the desert again.  The humidity was so high that, had the sun been shining on us, we would have suffered.

We saw a few critters during our trek, but no humans; just as well.  We had to drive through the road construction area both coming and going, but there were no workers there; perhaps due to the rain we got overnight.

Willow and Frio were very well behaved today, earning an A+ for their efforts.  (Well, to be honest, I don't believe they were really trying to earn high marks.)
