Back Again

Lots of yuccas between here and the mountains

We did the same hike as yesterday except we went into Second Arroyo rather than First.  On the way we ran into the friendly man who is generally out running with his wife.  He stopped and we chatted for a brief while.

Then it was on to the arroyo for a shade and water break.  Dr. K waited with Willow and Frio while I went on a short exploration in search of subjects to photograph.

After our brief respite we headed back the way we'd come, climbing up into the high flatland where our CR-V sat waiting for us.
