Fine Settimana

Western flank of Tortugas Mountain
Becca and I got on the trail early this morning and did a long hike into the outback.  We encountered two mountain bikers there who looked as though they were outfitted for an all-day adventure.  We saw nobody else until we bumped into JC, with whom we trekked back to the trailhead.  The weather was fine, but we're supposed to get more wind this afternoon.  I fear we're now into the spring windy season, which is never good for the allergies.
