Cool yet Hot

Headed down LDR-A

Sunny, but a bit cooler for our morning walk; high humidity made for some discomfort at times.  Dr. K, Willow and I changed up the route today, crossing the Tellbrook arroyo from the east/west cross trail and exploring a side arroyo before turning back.  We then trekked up the left branch to where it branched off from the right branch and followed the right arroyo up to the exit trail that scales the steep hill east of where Whitey the CR-V was parked at the trailhead.
