Slightly Altered Route

Off the beaten path

63F when we started off this morning, but it felt much hotter; perhaps the humidity was a bit high.

Willow, Frio and I descended the LDR-A arroyo, crossed the Tellbrook Arroyo at LDR-A, turned right on a trail toward the Organ Mountains and went exploring some small arroyos.  We also climbed a small hill so I could get a few images of the spot where it looks like Tortugas and the Organs intersect.

We took several shade and water breaks, one in Right Branch Arroyo on the way out.  Both "O"s seemed to enjoy our outing today.
