Friday Free-For-All

Soaptree Yucca at the side of LDR-A
We got an early start this morning, but not as early as the Basset people and their hounds who we spotted transiting 4210 hill far to the east of us.

They weren't the only nature enthusiasts we saw during our outing; three hikers (perhaps with a dog) were descending LDR southward, eventually climbing to the crest at the upper flatland road.

We did our usual trek with a bit of bushwhacking added on for distance.  It was much cooler this morning, but I wore a short-sleeve shirt and hiking shorts regardless.  I never felt cold due to bright sunlight and no wind.
