Warm and Windy

Far west of Tortugas Mountain

None of the local meteorologists said anything about high winds, but it's been very gusty all day so far.  It was that way this morning when Becca and I headed out for a long trek around Tortugas Mountain.  Also, it was quite warm--bordering on hot--all too reminiscent of summer, which is not my favorite season in the Chihuahuan Desert.
