Heat Abbreviation

16 White-winged Doves

It was so uncomfortable out there this morning for Dr. K, Willow and me that we shortened the hike by a third.  Willow especially didn't seem to be enjoying herself due to the heat even though we stopped repeatedly for shade and water breaks.  We were all glad to get out of the desert before it heated up even more.
