A Respite from the Wind

Moon, Jupiter and Galilean moons (?)

We got a real respite from the horrible winds of yesterday this morning, and we took full advantage of it by doing our regular hike and stopping for an extended time in several different spots.

Willow and Frio enjoyed lying out in the desert dirt while Dr. K and I palavered about nothing of particular importance.  We saw no one else while we trekked around our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert today.
