Another Rainy Morning

A dusting of snow on the higher peak

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I were fortunate this morning; despite the light rain coming down while we drove up to the trailhead today the precip pretty much stopped when we got out to hike.

We followed our normal route down LDR-A arroyo, right on the east/west cross trail, up Left Branch Arroyo, down Middle Branch, and up and out on the Right Branch.

One bad element of the weather put a real damper on our enjoyment level:  the wind.  It made conditions feel quite cold while we were out there.
