Back Side of the Mountain

Along the western foothills

A very long, hot hike this morning for Becca and me.  We went around the back side of Tortugas, where we ran into one mountain biker.  There were no other outdoor types to be seen.  Can't say that I blame them; the weather is pretty brutal.  Not even a breeze to ameliorate the heat.  Right now we're 102 F.
