Because we've had a little rain the last few days, this morning was delightfully cool. The moisture in the air and a stiff breeze provided natural evaporative cooling. Research Associate Becca and I enjoyed our time out on the trail; and she was remarkably well behaved, only once lurching at a jackrabbit who rocketed out of the brush to get away. The vistas were superb, and the outback seemingly unpopulated; though we did run into a jogger who was getting his exercise in early--always a good idea in the summertime here. About 2/3 of the way through our hike things began to heat up, and the humidity began to feel oppressive. We always make sure we carry enough water with us to stay hydrated on these excursions.
