Shopping Day Trek

Things are getting greener, but we need more rain

The dewpoint was 65 degrees Fahrenheit this morning when Becca and I hit the trail west of Tortugas, and, brother, did it feel it.  Even with a pretty strong wind it was nothing less than a sweat-fest out there for me.  It was a pant-fest for Becca.  Shortened the trek somewhat because I had to run one of my weekly errands:  grocery shopping at both Target and Albertsons--two stores just a stone's throw apart.  I used to shop at the latter grocery only, but it's too expensive nowadays.
