Churchgoing

First 2:  Ocotillo skies

Spent Sunday morning in the church of nature doing our regular hike.  Weather conditions were a bit uncomfortable:  high humidity, blazing sun, no breeze.

Nonetheless, we managed to get our exercise in without exhausting ourselves too much in the process.

Always rewarding, though, to ride home in the CR-V's air-conditioned comfort.
