A Good, Long Hike

Backside of the mountain
Dr. K, Becca and I set off early for a long hike around Tortugas Mountain.  It was downright chilly out there, with a moderate overcast.  The steady breeze made it feel cooler than it was.  I brought a jacket along, and I would have used it had the forgetful Dr. K not left hers behind at the house.  Becca had an encounter behind the mountain with Layla, a darker spit and image of herself.  We had a good laugh with Layla's owner about how similiar the two dogs were in appearance and behavior.
