Trekking with Wils

Cloudy Potrillo Mountains
We got quite a bit of rain yesterday, and perhaps more overnight.  As Willow and I drove east toward the Organ Mountains it was almost as if we entered a totally different weather zone; to the west it was sunny, but on the hill closer to the mountains it was completely cloudy.  The weather changed significantly while we followed our regular route after a slight detour at the start.  We saw no other nature enthusiasts during our morning hike.
