Dusty Wind

Soaptree on the hill east of LDR-A

It was windy and dusty the entire time Willow, Frio and I were out there this morning.  Dr. K missed the bad air by going shopping.  This wind has persisted for several days now, and it's getting quite annoying.  You'd think it was spring in the Chihuahuan Desert.

We did our usual trek, though at first I was tempted to abbreviate it due to the gusting dust; but we stuck it out.  Saw no one else out there during our outing, but there had been a vehicle parked at the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch corner lot when we started off.  It wasn't there when we finished.

I did a little work on the CR-V when we got back:  washed windows and put air in the tires.
