Again an Altered Route

Hiking through an unexplored arroyo

As Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I were driving to the trailhead this morning we saw another vehicle parked in our spot so we drove the upper flatland road to a parking space at the crest of LDR.

We descended the steep road, crossed the Tellbrook Arroyo and headed west into the desert with the intention of exploring small arroyos, which we did.

We did quite a bit of exploration in various small arroyos we'd never been in before; and then we headed east to hook up with LDR again, which we climbed to the upper flatland to reach the waiting CR-V.
