A Crowded Field

Yucca on the western slope of Tortugas Mountain

Many hikers, bikers, and joggers were out on Tortugas Mountain this morning.  Who can blame them for wanting to revel in the warm spring morning?  We're supposed to hit 88 F. today, with really bad winds coming tomorrow preceding a cold front.  Can't wait for the cooler temperatures, though.  When you live in a desert you don't want to rush the heat.
