Saturday's Long Trek

This and the following image:  the sky starting out

It was fairly crowded around the mountain this morning, though Becca and I only ran into a few people in the outback.  The guy jogging with his two dogs didn't even notice when they left his company and made a beeline over to Becca and me.  They were very friendly, though, and it was a pleasant encounter.  The weather was beautiful out there today, but it's supposed to change later on as a result of the storm system that blasted California the past two days.

Soon to cross paths with a solitary hiker

Things are beginning to clear

Surveying the terrain

Looking back at Tortugas and the Organ Mountains

How quickly the sun changes perspective

We ran into these three a few moments earlier

Becca watches the three jog away
