A Little Trip To Tombstone

It is perfect weather this time of year with cold mornings that climb into the 50's by noon and hotter by the afternoons. Sunshine almost every day, not counting the storms last week, storms that we really needed. It will be a few months before Carr Canyon Rd is open again where I can drive the 9,600' climb to the highest peak on the right there. The dogs love it because they can hang out in the backyard for as long as they want without hiding in the shade. Consequently the past few days since my last post I have spent a lot of time out and about the local area with the camera left at home.

Hounds & Dog Hibernate

It was 28° as the sun filled the sky. With the snow in the mountains the winds from the S-SW are colder now. Let's say throughout the day the two hounds and a dog did not spend any more time outside than needed. I didn't either. I had plans to go out to check different areas that were closed at the gate or had heavier snow than I had here in town. As usual things can change within minutes and those plans were put aside for another day. In its place I had a nice two hour phone call from an old friend that I had not heard from in almost a year.
