Tuesday's Cold Trek

Early morning view of the Organ Mountains

It was plenty cold on our morning outing today; the sun made an appearance occasionally, but a stiff breeze made conditions feel even worse.

We did our regular hike without the slightest urge to add extra distance.  Dr. K certainly didn't want more; even Willow seemed content with the usual trek.

After we got back home Dr. K went grocery shopping and I began preparations for a trip to the high country.
