First Work Week Hike

A little experiment
58F when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I started off on our regular hike this morning.  Bright sun and no breeze made it feel hotter than that.

We followed the familiar route we've been trekking for months, and we saw no nature lovers nor critters of note.

Several shade and water breaks kept our energy and spirits up, and, of course, the beauty of the desert maintained our interest as always.
