Dr. K had an AAUW meeting this morning so it was Willow and me on the daily trek.  We followed our regular route stopping several times along the way.  Although we saw the Basset people on Tellbrook near the parking lot when we were driving toward the trailhead we saw nobody in our section of the desert while we were trekking.
