Exploring Big Bend National Park



It was so dark last night you couldn't see inches in front of you....the stars were incredible! Then the moon rose. It was only a half moon but it really lit the night sky up. After breakfast we hit the roads on the bikes.....steep hills. Donnie just meticulously made his way pedalling up all of them. I was not so confident or prepared so rode when I could but had to walk the bike up some of the steeper ones. We realized we had left some items at home that we really wanted/needed so we went in search of a place where we could find a way to contact civilization. we found WiFi at the nearby welcome area, so with that accomplished (thank you pogs), we noticed the temperature was now a toasty and dry 100ºF. We rummaged through the cooler and found the most delicious grapes that we had forgotten submerged in the ice. Now we were ready to hit a hiking trail.

We chose a 4 mile round trip to "The Window". Always on the lookout for mountain lions. It was a beautiful peaceful hike that had us back at our campground well before dark. Another starry night.
