Return of the Wind

Western flank of Tortugas Mountain

It was cold on the mountain this morning, due to a feisty cold front that blew in last night.  The wind was still high when we were hiking around Tortugas, and I was glad I had worn my long-sleeve shirt, Polarplus vest, anorak and gloves.  It was that cold.  Don't ask about Becca.  She always wears the same coat.

These Yuccas reminded me of birthday candles
