Very Humid Hike

Waiting patiently

After all the rain we've gotten the past few days the dewpoint was incredibly high this morning.  If not for a nice breeze there'd have been no evaporative cooling at all.  Despite the discomfort factor, Becca and I did a very long hike in the outback west of Tortugas Mountain--some trekking on roads, on trails, then bushwhacking across the fertile desert.
