Winter's recession, March 13, 2015

Today’s weather forecast is for a 60% chance of rain.  Will the weather forecaster’s prediction be right a second time?  Last time we hiked we got both rain and snow.  We are going anyhow; it’s warmer so if anything it will be only rain.

We’re going to the Pecos Wilderness just east of Santa Fe.  Our goal is to hike along the Pecos River possibly to the Box then take a look at the Rio Mora.
