Idyllic Day on the Mountain

What I mean by "idyllic":  the temperature was perfect, 62 degrees Fahrenheit; there were only a few cars in the Sunset Parking lot when we set off; we saw nobody on the mountain; the several Desert Cottontail rabbits we encountered seemed to know I had Becca under control and didn't run away; I didn't get at all sweaty during the trek; and we ran into our buddy, Jimmy, back at the parking area where we stood chatting for fifteen or twenty minutes.  All in all a very pleasant morning outing.

Bunnies are just so cute
