Late morning at my Tecopa Hot Springs camp site by the mesquite bush

I've already had coffee, a light breakfast of sorts, and a long relaxing soak in the hot pool, complete with interesting chats with other guys enjoying the pool.

I would like to have slept in later, but that's not usually possible in the desert in a tent due to the hot sun making the tent too hot by 7h30.
