More Claret Cups

Mormon Tea buds

Dr. K, Willow and I had a good hike this morning; weather conditions were just right:  sunny, warm, no wind.  While we descended LDR-A we saw Two-White-Dogs-Lady in the desert far north of us; a moment later she and her pups were bushwhacking westward.  They were the only nature enthusiasts we spotted out there today.  The wind is supposed to get brutal tomorrow so we hope we can get in an early morning hike to avoid the blowing dust and sand.
