Funday Sun

Morning moon

Surprisingly cool for our morning hike today even though we were in the low 40s.  Both Dr. K and I wore gloves for most of the trek, but Willow didn't.  We saw the Basset People heading north on LDR-A, heard the hounds, too.  We also spotted a runner headed north on LDR before she turned around and jogged the other direction.  We followed our regular route, finishing up by exiting the right branch arroyo over the steep hill to the west.  After the outing we drove over to our local Circle K to gas up the CR-V:  $3.39 per gallon, total of $34.98.  Gouging from the Iran war has begun already.
