It was getting pretty chilly by 10PM when we got in from the star gazing but made it down to 7degrees by morning. We stayed plenty warm inside but we sure didn’t dawdle breaking camp.
The cold was brought in by a fast moving front that swept across the mountains in the night. It left behind this beautiful frost covered landscape. Above about 2000 ft elevation every tree and blade of tall grass was flocked with a sparkling layer of thick frost. It was just on one side of everything though as the wind blew the icy clouds across the face of the mountains. It was amazing and gorgeous in the brilliant sunshine this morning. It makes for a beautiful farewell sight from the Davis Mountains. Nice that it isn’t on the road surface….
