Rio Grande …and much more

 

 

The previous is also new…just posted…if you interested…The day started started about 0500 this morning at the dispersed camping site…as the sun rose over the mountains to the East…it was like being down at the 50 yard line of the Super Bowl….or maybe the 18th green at the Masters…or maybe as you are sliding through the “Pearly Gates”….you get the picture…it was magnificent… a cup of coffee. camera and a sunrise…what else can one ask for….

My Sunrise today….are you jealous

Barney came out of his igloo around 0700 to catch the magic light…and then we talked awhile…and around 0830..I departed…drove the 20 something miles south to Rio Grande CG…they let you use generators…found a great spot…set up , did some chores, made some calls, worked some issues and by 1130 or so was relaxing…went about two miles down the road to the village store, they have wifi, to post a bunch a stuff…couldn’t get the blog entry from yesterday to take…will try again tomorrow…and who was their…Barney…we talked for a while and then I took off to do some exploring…first to Boquillas Canyon Overlook and the Canyon Trail…got some photo’s, nice quarter mile hike up, then and then return…at the top you saw the Rio Grande and Mexico…when I left there decided to come back, get a memory card and venture to Grapevine Hills…

  1. Love the photos, the phrase "magic light" and the idea of grilled portobello and feta!

    My physical body may reside east of the Mississippi but my soul remains in the West. Love the reminders.
