Chisos Basin

Our campsite Tuesday night was thru a VERY narrow canyon. Thank God no cars were coming since only 1 car at a time could pass. The weather was so balmy. We sat out enjoying the 60+ degree temps even after the sun set. We had pulled pork, green beans and Shiner Bok Ruby Red beer.

Decided to take a walk and encountered another javelina. Chico was going after it but redd called him back! I was running back to the truck lol.

Some weather came thru around 4am with cold winds. The temps have steadily been dropping. Currently its 39 and falling, plus misty rain. No hiking this morning because of rain.

We did try to hike Santa Elena Canyon but couldn't cross into the canyon because of the river level.

We've left Big Bend and are continuing our backroads journey.Read more
