Hotter Start

We were somewhat surprised at how hot it felt on the trail this morning, given how cool it's been the last few mornings.  We had the whole place to ourselves, though, not seeing another soul in the area.  That's always nice because it gives the illusion of "First Man, First Dog" hiking together in the outback.  One can do a lot of thinking while trekking in the desert, though Becca does most of her ruminating with her olfactory sense.
