Second Arroyo Sunday

View across the Mesilla Valley from Second Arroyo
Late start again this morning as the four of us headed down LDR-A and up LDR en route to Second Arroyo.

After a brief shade and water break we turned around and hiked back.  On the way we saw nobody in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.

It was cool again for our trek, but we're warming up to 90F again today.  It's ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as conditions in the Phoenix area; I heard this morning that exactly half its days so far this year have been 100F or hotter.  Yikes!
