Saturday's Desert Outing

View heading down LDR

It felt uncomfortable in the desert when Dr. K, Willow and I did our morning hike, but at least the air wasn't bad.  Could've used a nice breeze, though.

We trekked the usual route today seeing nobody while we were out there.  Several pickups were parked in the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch lot; only one was still there when we finished up.

Took a drive after the hike, basically passing through the neighborhoods we often ride around.
