Another Midweek Meander

Heading down LDR-A

43% (?) chance of rain by 7 a.m. today, but the intrepid trekkers (Willow and Frio) and I got not even a sprinkle as we hiked up to First Arroyo and back.  Saw a few criters out there, but no people or dogs.

It did feel a tad bit humid in the desert this morning, but a slight breeze ameliorated the heat.  Our discomfort level wasn't too high by the time we got back to the upper flatland.

Several vehicles were parked at the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch corner lot, but we didn't see any of the occupants as we were leaving.
