A Day Like Today

This & next:  sun through overcast sky

Chilly, windy and overcast:  three elements that made this morning's hike less than pleasant.  Nevertheless, Willow, Frio and I did our almost normal trek, cutting out our trip up the left branch of the new arroyo due to weather conditions.

The only people we saw today was a group of three bikers heading first up Tellbrook and then heading down.  Both Frio and Willow were interested in them even though they were nowhere near us.

We had an OK outing today, though I feel pretty certain all three of us amigos were happy to get back to the CR-V to make our way home.

I think I prefer the first of these two
