Saturday Styling

Becca and a moderately-tall Ocotillo
We ran into a mountain biker early on this morning, but had no further human encounters.  Wildlife was abundant, though; we saw lots of Cottontails and Jackrabbits, hawks and Turkey Vultures.  For some reason (perhaps the rain over the past two days) there were countless millipedes about.  We enjoyed out moderately-long hike because of an ever-present cool breeze.  Without the breeze the humidity would have been very unpleasant.
