Guataloupe Mountains NP 4/10


We hiked a 4 mile hike to down a wash in between the canyons. It was a bit more challenging than we thought. But fun no the less. Some great new wildflowers and interesting rock ledges.
To me this is the epitome of the desert. Look how this trees routes adapted to the rocky ledge!
climbed up this rock face!  Thats Jer below in his tie dye.

Beauty everywhere.
dinner was simple but scrumptious! Rosemary garlic lemon chicken, rosemary potatoes and lemon garluc chicken. I've actually brought my overwintered Rosemary plant with me so it wouldnt die at home. So nice to have fresh herbs on the road....a but of a pain to travel with but worth it to me. I know Im crazy!!

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
