Below Freezing Again

First 3:  heading down LDR-A

Our hike on this cold morning was nearly the same as yesterday's with the exception of the very first leg; rather than follow the arroyo that parallels LDR-A we took LDR-A down to the Tellbrook Arroyo and hiked it east to the entrance of the new arroyo.

From there we followed the same routine:  up the left branch into its head and then back to the intersection with the right branch.  We trekked up the right branch to its head and then exited up the steep hill to the upper flatland road where the CR-V was parked.
