| Sky at start |
It was 59F with a cool breeze when we hit the trail. The air was much better than yesterday morning, though some residual particulate matter still sullied the vistas a bit.
Heelers were very well behaved out there, following close behind me when I let them off lead in Middle Branch Arroyo. I did wonder what they'd do if we happened upon the two Mule Deer we startled yesterday, but, sadly, no such encounter.

It's amazing how fast those Soaptree Yucca stalks grow.
