Yellowing |
Willow, Frio and I did some exploring in the desert northeast of the Tellbrook Arroyo this morning, and we paid a price for bushwhacking through other sandy arroyos: flies pestered the hell out of us. There was no escaping them; they were everywhere. Fortunately we weren't out too long, primarily due to the pests.
Hiking back into the upper flatland via the long dirt road was hell; it seemed as if an army had trudged down the road and back. Footing is already bad along that stretch, but today it was impossible. I couldn't wait to get back to our CR-V; and, of course, it felt great to crank the air conditioning up for the short ride home.
