Less Smoke

Considerably less smoke in the air this morning

Fortunately, it wasn't as smoky this morning as yesterday, although we're under an alert all this week.  Besides the fires burning in Arizona there's one in Mexico, too.  The wind from the west is carrying the smoke in our direction.  We saw a few other hikers out and about around Tortugas, but we had no close encounters of any kind.  We got in a good, long hike before heading home.

Always ready to go
