All the Way

This and the next:  Frio in the patio enclosure

It was a bit cooler with a steady breeze this morning so Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I hiked up to Second Arroyo, went inside for a shade and water break, and retraced our steps.

On the way back we encountered a woman jogger and her dog--who we've bumped into before--and all three canines weren't thrilled about the meeting.  Lots of barking, but no real interaction because we took Willow and Frio far enough off trail to avoid any kind of contact.

We saw no other outdoor enthusiasts on our morning trek today, and that's just the way we like it.
