Back to Desert Bushwhacking

This and the next:  morning moon
Frio, Willow and I headed down LDR-A, crossed the Tellbrook Arroyo, went up LDR a smidge before heading east on a trail that leads to an arroyo we've explored before.

We followed that arroyo into the hills south of the ridgeline above First Arroyo, tracked eastward for quite a ways before dropping down into Second Arroyo.

Both dogs were extremely well behaved this morning, which makes the hike a lot more pleasant for everyone involved.
