Blustery Morn

West of the Organ Mountains

Wils, Frio and I did much the same hike we did yesterday, though not as long due to inclement weather conditions.  We didn't get rained on, but it looked as if we might at any minute.  We had to deal with slightly cool temperatures from the wind and overcast sky.

It didn't stop the Heelers from enjoying themselves, though, and we all hiked merrily through the desert--sometimes on dirt roads and other times bushwhacking through the flora.  Although we saw other outdoor enthusiasts at great distances we never ran into anybody.
