Leaving Big Bend heading towards Hot Springs NP

So sad to say goodbye to my desert plant friends! They hold duch a special place in my heart for some reason. I think it's because they are like the underdogs. They flourish beyond our belief! Good bye Big Bend! I hope to see you again!! One of our last Mexican Lunches and we struck gold!! Tiny hole in the wall. So good and fresh . They make their own tortillas. So tender and amazing.  Then through the Texas oil fields. Dust everywhere! And you could actually smell petroleum in the air. Kind of surreal after the beautiful desert. Finished the day with one more Mexican meal! Omg sauted gulf shrimp SO SO SO GOOD!! A perfect end to our desert extravaganza! Tomorrow off to Hot Springs NP

We hiked the Alamo Canyon trail this morning. Another treasure! Up to an old ranchers cabin and a spring! The spring was awesome, new wildflower species and so lush. Some superbloom shots! flowers are just everywhere! This is a Teddy Bear Cholla. It drops its segments and they attach to passers by or just land on ground and root look closely at these babies, they have rooted and have tons of new growth . Great example of a barrell cactus The Organ Pipe Cactus ( where  the Park got it's name)      Our friend "garding" the trail! Stopped for lunch at the only restaurant in Why, AZ. It was surprisingly yummy!!! A quiet afternoon reading.
