Heading back to Houston in the morning. This was a great getaway. Pictures have been updated. http://is.gd/1K0B
| Having dinner at the Lodge in Big Bend. It is really beautiful here. |
|
| @timestocome Thanks! We are heading out to another part of the park, so I will be updating tomorrow morning. |
|
| It is also hard getting used to no cell phone coverage, no phone in room and no tv. Guess that's the point of "getting away". |
|
| It is hard getting used to the temp fluctuations. In the basin (where I am) (57-76). Other places in Big Bend the high is 95+. |
|
| I have been uploading pictures each morning. I'm not a photographer, but some have turned out rather well. http://is.gd/1K0B |
|
| Having breakfast and coffee. Getting ready to do some more hiking today. |
|
| The only problem so far is I am in 1 of the darkest places in the lower 48 and I have not seen the night sky yet - too cloudy. |
|
| Having breakfast at Chisos Mountain Lodge before heading out on some more hikes. |
|
| @jonwalz Those pictures I posted yesterday are Javelina or wild pigs. They are quite common in SW Texas. I never see them in Houston. |
|
| Off for our first hike of the day. Planning to do some easy ones today. I'll be back when I can get to the internet again. Later tweeps. |
|
| @skwigg They are called Peccary or Javelinas. Basically, wild pigs. It was alarming, but fun to see. |

| At Chisos Mountain Lodge Restaurant for breakfast |
|
| Hitting the road. Big Bend bound. http://www.nps.gov/bibe/ -- Later tweeps. |
|
| Up and around. Doing some last minute packing for our trip to Big Bend. |

| Watching Stargate Atlantis. "It's flying monkeys" |
|
| Taking a break from packing to watch Burn Notice. Interesting seeing Michael Shanks on something besides Stargate. |
