A Prescribed Burn

This and the next:  road across the upper flatland

Trekked up to First Arroyo on a fairly pleasant morning; although slightly overcast the afternoon high is supposed to reach 68F.

After a brief respite in the arroyo, during which we drank water and took photos, we headed back.

Spotted no other outdoor enthusiasts this morning despite the pleasant conditions.  Those conditions are going to change radically between Sunday and Monday.
