People Avoidance

Geothermal Road
It was very hard to avoid people this morning because the Sunset Area side of Tortugas Mountain was already pretty crowded when we got out there.  We did our best, though, heading west on Geothermal Road, cutting through the Lineman School and heading into the outback.  I'm still being careful about how far I take Becca on these daily excursions after her recent bout of limping.  She seemed to do well on our trek, which lasted over an hour.
