Difficult Bushwhack

This & next:  juniper berries

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did another forest bushwhack this morning, and it was a difficult one.  We ended up high on the mountain behind the cabin is an area we'd not been in before; the return hike was tough because we were stymied several times by thick groves of junipers.

We managed to get back to our place with plenty of time to do the rest of the yard work that needed doing.  Afterward I did a few other minor jobs that required attention.
