I bet 100

Healthy green Ocotillo
Meteorologists are predicting a high of 99F for us today, but I'm betting the temperature will slip over the century mark.  It was mighty hot out there for Becca and me this morning.  A slight breeze did help to cool us off somewhat.  We cut our trek a little short, though, because of the heat.  When I went outside a little while ago to retrieve our empty garbage dumpster the day felt brutally hot.  You sure wouldn't want to be setting off for a hike at this time of day.

There's a road through here

Long way to go

Better take a break
