Even Nicer

Robledos

We all had a good time on our morning trek reveling in the nice weather--45F, no breeze, plenty of sunshine--and enjoying the beautiful desert scenery.

As an added bonus both Willow and Frio were very well behaved; in fact, I let them off lead for a longer period of time, reinforcing each "come" return with mini reward treats.

We did our usual hike down LDR-A arroyo, east on the cross trail to Left Branch Arroyo, up the left, down the middle and out along Right Branch Arroyo, exiting up the steep hill to the west where the CR-V was parked.
