A Week In

1st 2:  early morning sky

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I had a good hike in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert this morning; although it was a bit chilly at start, it never felt really cold.

Followed our usual route:  down the LDR-A arroyo, right toward the Organ Mountains on the east/west cross trail, up Left Branch Arroyo, down the middle branch, and up Right Branch Arroyo before exiting over the steep hill just to the west.

Had to mail a bill so we drove down to the small post office west of the university and then took a short ride before returning home.

This & next 2:  Ocotillos alongside LDR-A
