Sunday in Church

Range Ratany is blooming everywhere

Dr. K, Becca and I started off from the Monte Vista side of Tortugas Mountain this morning, hiked around the south side of the mountain to the far west side, then retraced our steps.  It was a good, long hike.  The only distraction was a dirt biker on the south mesa whose internal combustion engine was really out of place on a peaceful holy day.
