Kit and Carol on the Road

We finally got "out of the house" today for a nice hike in the desert. We went out to the Coachilla Valley Preserve this afternoon and had a 4 plus mile hike, across a ridge, up and down a bit and past a number of palm groves. Now it seems to be clouding up again (I just heard thunder) but there is no rain in the forecast until Tuesday. We are off to Death Valley in the morning so will be out of e-mail range at least through the weekend. No idea how long we will stay. We plan to head to Pasa Robles next--or back to Oregon if the weather continues in this vein.
