Continuing Heatwave

Took artistic license with this one
A fairly consistent light wind kept things almost bearable this morning, but it was still pretty brutal out there as Willow, Frio and I did our morning hike.

We altered our track somewhat--descending LDR-A to the east/west cross trail--but we still did the entire route.  We were all pretty anxious to get the trek over with today.

It was 83F when we started off at 7:30, and 90F when we finished a little before 9.  Pretty sure we broke a record high yesterday, and we're headed for another record today.  Tired of this heat.
