Bit Cooler

The way we came down LDR-A arroyo

It was slightly cooler for Dr. K, Willow and me as we started our early morning trek.  Whenever the sun broke through the clouds the conditions warmed some, but it never felt too hot.  We did about half our regular route for two reasons:  Willow chose the way forward, and I didn't mind cutting it short because I had my weekly shopping to do at Albertsons, which I did after our outing.
