Cool Enough

Piece of rainbow at center

Much cooler for Dr. K, Willow and me on the morning outing:  63F when we started off.  We did the complete regular route today, taking measures to shy away from the prickly pear thorn clumps lining part of the trail in the middle branch arroyo.  The most interesting thing we took note of today was the partial rainbow that stayed in the clouds to the west during our entire trek.
