Desert Looks Like Rain

Starting from Monte Vista under threatening skies

All during our trek this morning Dr. K, Becca and I wondered if we would get rained upon; well, Becca didn't wonder.  Fortunately I only felt one raindrop on my arm for the entire hike.  The sky certainly was promising to open up at any minute and douse us big time.  We're still under a flash flood watch until Sunday morning, and the threat of storms is substantial.  There were many people out taking advantage of the cool weather, including the boys who were throwing rocks from a cliff face.
