Forest Hike, Cloudcroft Visit

Cottonwoods alongside Highway 82

We did the same forest hike behind the cabin that we've done the past three days, and the same one we'll do tomorrow.  Lots of birds out there this morning.

Willow discovered a severed bird leg with foot that was slightly gruesome.  Don't know yet which critter it belonged to.

After the trek we all drove up to the Family Dollar in Cloudcroft to buy some supplies:  six gallons of drinking water, one bottle of Brisk ice tea, one electric toothbrush, one container of Orajel for Dr. K's sore tooth, and one Chips Ahoy cookie for Dr. K's sore tooth.
