Rare cool May hike in the desert with John and Owen. John explored some high alcoves while Owen and I napped at the creek. Actually got chills and had to move into the sun.

Pretty Dodder scattered about on the hike is invading various plant life. New Mexican Thistle is blooming from their tall stalks. White Ratany is mixed in with the dominate Fairy Duster. Rattlesnake Weed covers sections as the Brittlebush takes it's last gasp of life.

We wanted a jhodlof experience so we hit up the authentic Mickey D's. Mickey tried to lock us in but we sweet talked our way out.
