Hump

Just getting started

After last night's heavy rain it was a bit steamy out in the desert this morning as Dr. K, Willow and I did our morning hike.  We did our regular route seeing no one else in our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.  A few hours after the trek I met my friend Jimmy at a cafe in Mesilla where we drank some iced coffee and chatted for an hour or so.  I took a few photos in the historic town and have posted them here.
