Hiking Before the Wind

The wind was forecast to come howling through, so we headed out early for our Thursday hike, in hopes of beating the wind. It was glorious – calm, warm in the parking lot, 10 degrees colder as we moved closer to the ice and shade along the creek at Big Hill Springs. Hiking on a sore hip was probably foolish and definitely painful, but it was so worth it, to be out in early spring.

The wind hit on our drive back, slamming a cardboard box onto the front of our car. We were chewing dirt by the time we  got home.
