Altered Track

1st 2:  ridge west of the Organ Mountains
Dr. K, Willow and I altered our hike a bit due to the presence of the Basset Lady +1 and the hounds.  At first it looked as if they'd head east across the upper flatland road to where we had just parked at the trailhead; but they went down LDR instead.

Nevertheless we bushwhacked east from LDR-A in order not to get too close to them; no encounter occurred.  When we hit the right branch arroyo we hiked down to the junction with the left branch and then followed our regular route to conclusion.

This & next:  Little-leaf Sumac


Willow doesn't want the hike to end
