Sprinkled On

Soaptree Yucca, ocotillo and mountains

Really blustery this morning, perhaps more so than yesterday; and, although the sun made brief appearances at times, it was mostly cloudy during our trek.

We followed our usual route, at one point considering shortening the outing because it started raining lightly.  The rain let up and we decided to do the entire hike.

When we exited the right branch arroyo and climbed the steep hill to the west we got sprinkled on a bit more; not enough to really wet us, though.
