Back to Cold and Windy

The long view:  Tortugas and the Organs
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I took our usual early morning hike today, and for the first part of the outing we were quite cold; a frigid wind was blowing despite the abundant sunshine.

As is often the case upon turning right on the east/west cross trail we were shielded from the gusts by the contours of the immediate environment.  That protection ended when we ascended Right Branch Arroyo and climbed the steep hill to the west.

We were happy that we only had a short jaunt over to the CR-V and its warm interior.
