Cloud Cover

Just getting started

For two-thirds of this morning's hike Dr. K, Willow and I got a good break; high cloud cover kept the temperature down.  With a third of the trek to go, though, the sun broke through and really broiled things (us) up.  We slogged through, however, and took a long ride in the air-conditioned CR-V to cool down.  We were feeling pretty comfortable by the time we reached home.
