Surprisingly Cold Hike

Willow's look back
We were at or below freezing (32F) last night, and, boy, did it feel like that this morning.  Add a strong persistent wind and we had the ingredients for a cold hike.

We saw the Basset Woman +1 (her daughter?) when we were driving up Tellbrook Road, but we didn't spot them out in the desert.  Just as well--even the scent of those hounds drives Willow to distraction.
