A Bit Raw

1st 3:  sky at start

Unpleasant weather conditions when Willow, Frio and I did our morning hike today; it's even worse now because rain is coming down.  The temperature is cold enough that frozen precipitation is probably falling in the higher elevations of the Organ Mountains.

We did the entire trek despite the cold, though the chilling wind, lack of sunshine and low temperature (32F) made it feel quite raw out there.

All three of us (Dr. K was shopping) were happy to get back to the warmth of the CR-V.
