Cool step

Oh, I'm pretty clever. Did you get it? The double entendre?

You see, it was a very hot day, and Mom had just watered the plants (plus this neat rock step).

Plus look at the all those ferns. Cool, huh?

So now you get it, the water had "cooled down" the step.

OK, note to self -- never explain the jokes -- now I understand.

Alpha wants you all to know that he'll be backpacking for 5 days and so, that means, no Frito-a-Day updates for a while. But he promises me that he will back fill all those missing days. Hey, we have a reputation to live up to ya know ;-)
