Muy Seco

Surprised to see Acacia in bloom
103 days without precipitation, and not a drop in sight.  The record number of days (109) without precipitation we set as recently as 2002.  Looks like we may break it this year.  What an achievement!

Becca and I were the only lunatics out in the dry desert this morning.  Usually there's a car or two in the Sunset parking lot, but nobody today. 
Nary an Ocotillo leaf

A very dry landscape

On the prowl

Dry, dry wash

Odd cloud over Tortugas

I love the aroma of the acacia blossoms.

That is an odd cloud-- almost looks like a humongous jet stream or something!

Down Again

Forest hike this morning.  Back to the cabin to pack for the drive back down the mountain to the lower desert where we are now.
