Lovely Clouds

1st 2:  Pichacho "Peak" from different perspectives

It felt cooler out there this morning thanks to high clouds that came and went during our daily hike; Dr. K, Willow and I were most grateful for the respite from the heat.  Apparently there's a very slight chance of rain this afternoon.  We followed our regular route seeing only one distant hiker on a high ridge south of us.  Not many outdoor enthusiasts have the desire to be out and about even in the early morning hours ofn a mid-June day in the desert.
