Simple Saturday Trek

This morning's moon

Becca and I stopped for gas this morning before heading over to Tortugas Mountain for a Saturday morning hike.  It was pretty crowded on the Sunset side when we started out, and it was quite crowded when we got back to the car after a pleasant trek.  We bumped into a few exercise enthusiasts during our journey, but none in the outback.  Several times I heard a Roadrunner making a clacking sound while hunting, but I never did get a look at the critter.
