Cloudy Cool

Sky looking southwest

Overhead clouds kept the temperature cool this morning during our daily trek; it wasn't cold, but certainly not as warm as the past few days.  While we followed our regular route we saw the Basset people and their hounds in the distance far ahead of us.  They were the only nature enthusiasts we spotted today; that is, unless you count the American Kestrel perched atop an ocotillo branch waiting for the opportunity to get breakfast.
