| Getting ahead of the pack (two-pack) |
A beautiful, warm morning today led Becca and I to stray far into the outback in search of interesting sights. She spotted a Coyote off in the distance, but I couldn't get a photo of it because it was moving away from us at a very fast pace. We bushwhacked back toward the west side of Tortugas Mountain following the canid's route, hoping that it had doubled back to get a look at us, but no such luck. We ran into JC and Olivia on the way to the trailhead and hiked with them for a mile or so talking politics and college basketball.

During many of these days, there's a 30 or 40 degree temperature difference from early morning to mid afternoon. I'm glad it wasn't too cold this morning.
Packrat: We're enjoying incredibly wonderful weather here in the northern Piedmont, too. It was almost springlike today, with a high near 60 degrees and beautiful, cloudless skies. This weekend, we're supposed to get into the mid-60s. Normal highs for this time of year are 48!
By the way, here's a gentle chiding: Your commentary started off with "A beautiful, warm morning today led Becca and I to stray..." As a seasoned writer, you have obviously seen your error in this sentence. :-)
Our weather is changing tomorrow, Scott, and our highs will be dipping by twenty degrees.
Regarding my first sentence, if you're suggesting I should have used the idiom "to be led astray" that's not what I was saying. We "strayed" from the normal path because the weather was so beautiful. Been reading "The Elements of Style" again, have you? :)
