A cold and overcast morning for some local high de A cold and overcast morning for some local high desert hiking. We took a quick pitstop with few people before taking a hike in a more obscure park corner. The unofficial kick-off for peak season will start in less than a month.

This shirt comes in sizes up to 3XL as well. Over the late fall and into winter, Joan’s worn this every week on our hiking, camping, and backpacking trips.

@ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made @ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made me a 40F synthetic over quilt today to augment my down quilt.
