Another Respite

Clouds over the Organs

Dr. K, Willow and I got a break from the heat again this morning; it was cloudy and breezy most of the time.

We followed our usual route down LDR-A arroyo, toward the Organ Mountains on the east/west cross trail, up the left branch arroyo, down the middle branch, up the right branch and out over the hill immediately to the west.

We heard various vehicles traveling along Tellbrook Road, but we never saw anybody out in the desert.
