Gray, but Dynamic Day

Foothills trail

It was very windy this morning and a little chilly.  The forecast is for rain later this afternoon.  A few times during our trek this morning I felt a small rain drop on my arms and legs, but there was no real threat of a downpour.  Becca and I took a very long hike around Tortugas Mountain and didn't see anybody until we were almost back to the trailhead.  That's when we bumped into our buddy, Jimmy, who Becca ran nearly full speed to see.  She and Jimmy are good pals.
