Sunday Morning Hike

Dr. K, Becca and I did a rather long hike in the Tortugas Mountain outback this morning.  It was beautifully sunny, but rather chilly with a stiff breeze.  We only saw one group of three hikers, who were trekking along the trail that circumnavigates the mountain.  We didn't even see a single Cottontail or Jackrabbit, which is very unusual.  We did hear somebody popping off shotgun shells on the south mesa.  Sure wish the BLM would put an end to that nonsense.
