Something Rainy This Way Comes

The old observatory atop Tortugas Mountain

It was primarily sunny when we hit the trail this morning, but things soon clouded up.  We could literally feel the humidity rise as a cold front blew in a mass of moist air.  By the time we got home it had begun to rain.  It's rained on and off ever since.  We never complain about getting rain in the desert, although the floods of 2006 were a skosh too much.
