Tuesday Morning Hike

On a desert trail

We had a brief encounter with a guy and his two dogs who we see fairly often around Tortugas Mountain; but after our meeting we saw no other outdoor enthusiasts.  It was still a tad bit chilly this morning, with temperatures overnight dipping into the mid-30s.  We're supposed to start warming up again, though, and I resent it.  Let's keep things bearable into mid-May, I say.

I spy something

Gnarly Ocotillo wands

Single-track trail back toward Tortugas

Soon to be a gorgeous Strawberry Pitaya blossom
