TGIF (Thank God It's Frīġedæġ)

Tortugas Mountain and the Organ Mountains
Quite a few hikers, bikers and joggers out on the mountain today.  We had close encounters of the 3rd kind with several.  One mountain biker and her male companion had two loose dogs, and they and Becca romped around for a minute before we all moved on.  We came across a newly-dug den that probably belonged to a canid, mostly likely a Coyote.  Becca was very interested in the scents surrounding the opening in the earth.
