Brink of the Weekend



Tortugas's western slope

Becca and I did a fairly long hike in the Tortugas Mountain outback this morning.  We saw only one other hiker, a man with a small dog in the sand flats area.  We saw them again later when we were heading back up into the foothills; they were striking for the top of the mountain.  I hate to sound antisocial, but it's always a special treat when he don't enounter other people.
