Sunday Sauna

On the trail southeast of Tortugas
If hot, dry and windless wasn't bad enough yesterday, how about stirring in a big dollop of humidity?  That's what we had today as Dr. K, Becca and I worked our way around the mountain.  We encountered two mountain bikers on the trail, but nobody else was on the Monte Vista side of the area.  Smart people were probably sitting in air-conditioned kitchens eating bowl after bowl of  Häagen-Dazs gelato.
