Dodgems

Heading north around Tortugas

"Dodgems" are to the English what Bumper Cars are to the Americans, but here I'm referring to all the people who were on and around Tortugas Mountain this morning and what we had to do to avoid them.  We had one benign encounter with a woman hiker and her dog, and we had to avoid three other women hikers, a male jogger and his black dog, and several mountain bikers.  Don't know why it was so crowded out there today.
