Thursday's Regular Trek

Organ Mountains X
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did our usual hike this morning:  down the LDR-A arroyo, right on the east/west cross trail, up the left branch arroyo, down the middle branch to the junction with the right, and then up the right branch where we exited over the hill to the west.

Weather conditions were very pleasant for our outing:  60F, breezy, sunshine and no clouds.  Of course Dr. K thought it was a bit chilly, but the "O"s and I felt it was just right.  :)
