F is for Fail

This & next: side arroyo connecting left and middle branches

We did our usual hike this morning, and even though the temperature at start was 29F conditions didn't feel too cold; of course it always helps when the desert sun is shining brightly.

We didn't run into any desert critters, but the way Willow acted in sniffing various scents you'd have thought a few were ready to appear at any moment.

I won't detail Willow's atrocious behavior today; suffice it to say I haven't given many F grades to Heelers ever.

Meh
