Crowded Saturday

Western flank of Tortugas Mountain

College is back in session, so there were many young people out and about on the mountain.  We had direct encounters with a woman jogger and a male mountain biker.  Becca was loose on both occasions--good for the jogger, not so good for the biker.  All she did was growl at the biker, but I had to explain to him that she's afraid of mountain bikes.  I haven't been able to break her habit of feeling anxious around them.
