Frisky Friday

Early on the trail

Now that school is out I find there are a lot of young people on the mountain early, usually walking in groups of two to five, making a bit of noise--as young people often do--and just enjoying themselves under the warm desert sun.  It's nice to see kids having a good time exercising in the world of nature.
