We awoke to a heat wave—instead of being below freezing as it had been for two mornings, it was 38°. We closed up and were on the road by 9:15. The only excitement for the day was when we had an impressive tire blow-out on the camper. It happened on our way to Alpine, on a straight part of the road with plenty of room on the side to change it. We were a bit delayed but on our way again in good order. We couldn’t have made Tucson today anyway so it didn’t matter much. We found out that there was a Discount Tire in Las Cruces, NM so we made that our destination for tonight. We checked in at Sunny Acres RV Park needing its showers and Wi-Fi after three nights without electricity or water. We’re watching our first Olympics coverage and getting back in touch with civilization and heading to Tucson tomorrow. Because we don't have pictures to show for today, I thought I'd just include a few more for Big Bend.
Just wanted you to know I'm still reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat a trip. So many amazing hikes and vistas. And then to come upon a bunch of bare-chested men (and one woman...).
Thanks for the photos --- the petroglyphs were very clear when the photo enlarged and the river gorges are gorgeous.
Peace and joy on your travels.
