Hi everyone, Sorry, we haven't had an internet connection since May 21. So, sit down, have a cup of coffee or beverage of your choice, and I will fill you in on our adventure.
We left Wal-Mart at 7:00 a.m. and arrived in the Big Bend Nat'l Park at 9:30. Then we drove another 29 miles to the entrance and Visitors Center. We camped in a primitive campground for 3 nights. The weather was gorgeous. Cool nights and warm days. The rangers said the week before was 113. Our timing was pretty good, huh? We rode our bikes getting the lay of the land close by and after lunch took the jeep and saw some beautiful sites. We drove to Hot Springs. It is a spring that is 105 degrees bubbling up out of the ground. We walked a trail and on some big rocks we found some crafts that the Mexicans left for tourists to buy. What they do is swim across the Rio Grande River with their crafts and set them up on big rocks with prices on them and a plastic jar for money. I bought a walking stick and a couple of other little things. We found out later that it is illegal for them to do that and for tourist to buy. They could have confiscated everything I bought if they saw me. I'm glad they didn't catch us. Whew!!
We then drove to Bouquillas overlook which is Bouquillas Canyon overlooking the Mexican City.
