Steamed Hikers

Boomerang cloud

75F when we started off this morning, blazing sun at times, and very high humidity.  Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I were like steamed clams out there today, and we looked forward to getting the trek over with.

We did our normal hike, taking only a few short breaks along the way due to the abundance of ants.  That was agreed to by everybody because of the adverse weather conditions, and we finished our exploration more quickly than ever.
