Behind "A" Mountain

Apparently I wasn't much in the mood to take photographs this morning (snapped only six) as Dr. K, Becca and I trekked around Tortugas Mountain (aka "A" Mountain, A = "Aggies," the nickname of the local university's sports teams.  "Aggies" comes from the school's agricultural beginnings when it was a land grant college).  Back behind the mountain we ran into a couple of mountain bikers and a jogger, and then later, just as we got back to the car, our friend, Jimmy, was pulling into the parking lot on the Monte Vista side.  We chatted with him for a few minutes, discussing the man who'd been found dead at the top of the mountain and wondering why we've not heard--or whether we'll ever hear--the rest of the story.
