More Lousy Weather

A pause before heading down to the lower desert

The redeeming factor on our trek today was the absence of wind; had it been windy it would have been pretty raw out there.  We did a moderately-long hike before heading back.  Along the way we ran into JC and Shaque and hiked to the parking area with them.  There we met a man who had a Black Lab, Sugar, who was the younger spit-and-image of Shaque.  Sugar was 8--half of Shaque's age.  The two Labs went round and round, perhaps each thinking it was looking into a mirror.  I left Becca in the car because she thought she was having double vision.

Not quite as cold as it looks, but cold nonetheless

Now which is which?
