Pleasant Solo with Wils

For those who think the desert is flat
Weather conditions were quite nice when Willow and I set off this morning on the daily hike.  Dr. K had an AAUW meeting to attend.

Just as the Wilster and I were getting started we spotted the Basset people and their hounds directly in front of us.  I employed some stall tactics, one of which was to hike part of the upper flatland road in the direction of Tellbrook Road.

By the time we turned around and trekked up to the crest of the steep hill west of the right branch arroyo the Bassets were long gone.  We saw no one else during our outing.
