Three Degrees Below Freezing

1st 2:  views from LDR-A arroyo

A little chilly at the start of our hike this morning (29F), and the breeze that picked up on occasion added to the cold conditions.

Things began to warm up when we entered the left branch and felt pretty good all the way up to the crossover and then down the middle branch.

Breeze returned as we made our way up the right branch, and even got a bit nippier when we climbed the steep hill on our exit out of the arroyo.

All in all, though, a good outing.
