Coyote Friend

The "O"s
Darned cold out there this morning:  32F.  We were spared, though, because there was no wind.

We did the Basset trail essentially in reverse, bushwhacking east across the desert to the hill closest the Tellbrook Arroyo; from there we followed the ridgeline south until we decided to descend into an arroyo.  On the way down we spotted a curious coyote monitoring our progress.

It's obvious he was unperturbed by our presence.  He stayed at a safe distance watching our moves.  I took many photos of him, posting the best here.  He was still lying in the same spot when we headed west to hook up with the left branch arroyo.

Action!

Frio wants to go that way
