Cool Change

Early morning double rainbow

It was raining right up until the time when Willow and I left for our morning outing; the result was a pleasantly cool start to the hike.  That sensation didn't last very long, though, as the 87% humidity began to take its toll.  Funny how that works.  We did the same full hike we did yesterday with the exception of an aborted start down the middle branch arroyo; Willow picked up a clump of prickly pear thorns, which I dislodged immediately.  We turned around and bushwhacked over to the left branch arroyo, following the route we took yesterday back to Whitey the CR-V.
