Out of the East

East of Tortugas Mountain
Dr. K, Becca and I started off from the Monte Vista area of the Tortugas Mountain Trail System, then began a clockwise circuit of the mountain on the inner loop.  We soon ran into a woman hiking with two Pitbulls (both on leads), and we had a friendly encounter.  She was walking so slowly in front of us, though, that we altered our track, heading straight away from the mountain in the direction of the Organs.  We did a long trek on the tablelands east of the mountain before returning to our car. It was a beautiful warm morning.  We're under a high-wind warning for tomorrow.
