Another Hot One

This and the next 5:  hiking just west of Tortugas Mountain

I let Becca dictate the length of our trek this morning because it was obvious from the start that she wasn't into it; I could tell she didn't feel well because her tail hung straight down for the entire abbreviated hike.  Even now--after we've been home for five hours--she seems to lack energy.

We saw a few other nature enthusiasts when we were out there today, but not many.  It was already quite hot when we started off, and the humidity was high; not surprisingly there's a chance of precipitation this afternoon.  Rain is almost always welcome here in the northern Chihuahuan Desert.
