Bummed-Out Becca

Starting up Geothermal all by my lonesome

Because she appears to have sprained the elbow in her right leg Becca has been ordered by the doctor not to hike for a week.  A whole week!  Becca has never gone for more than a few days without hiking. I felt very lonely hiking sans dog this morning--even though I saw a Coyote not far off the road when I was just getting started.  Hopefully the rest, the anti-inflammatory drug, and the icing of the elbow (carried out by Nurse Packrat) will soon restore the beloved canine to health.

Tortugas from afar
