Usual Suspects on Usual Trail

Soaptree Yucca and the flank of Tortugas Mountain

Not quite as cool this morning when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I hit the trail and followed our usual route.  We took several shade and water breaks along the way, and the Heelers were highly appreciative; they both drank freely.

We saw nobody else during our outing which was slightly surprising because the weather conditions were good.
