Five Above Freezing

1st 3:  Tortugas and the Organs

Quite cold this morning when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I set off on our daily hike; wind and clouds made it feel even worse.

We lost the wind in the lower section of the LDR-A arroyo and into the upper reaches of the left branch and middle branch arroyos.  It picked up again as we ascended the right branch.

After our outing we drove over to our local Circle K to gas up the CR-V.  Since the university is not yet back in session the gas station was remarkably uncrowded.
