Wind Once Again

Still on the lead
The weather forecasters on the morning news out of El Paso said nothing about wind today, but we sure experienced some in the outback west of Tortugas Mountain. It was downright chilly, too.  I'm still keeping Becca on lead during our hikes to make sure she doesn't run or spin too much.  When she's happy or excited she tends to whirl like a dervish.  On the way back to the trailhead we ran into Jimmy, J.C. and Shaque.  Becca is always glad to see her buddies, canine and human alike.
