High 70s in Late February

Heelers with Dr. K

We hiked up to Second Arroyo and back on a pleasant morning in the northern Chihuahuan Desert today.  We're headed for a high temperature of 76F.

We saw no other outdoor enthusiasts while we were there even though we saw several vehicles parked at the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch parking area.

I had to take Whitey the CR-V in to be serviced in the late morning, and they had it done by 12:30.  Dr. K picked me up and dropped me off, taking me to-and-fro in her 2018 CR-V we jokingly call "Red."
