We've been on the road for almost 2 weeks, but will be back home tonight. Yuck!
Lets see...it was lows in the 30's and highs in the mid 90's. Started the trip at 110' elevation and drove as high as 6407' and never left this great state. Saw the rings around Saturn and three of its four moons, a nebula in action and of course a close up of the moon all at the McDonald observatory in Fort Davis, Tx.The deer showed up at the camp site eachevening looking for a hand out and the javelina showed up each night looking for whatever a javelina looks for at night.
Visited the grandeur of Big Bend National park but the high light was the drive from Lajitas to Presidio along the Rio Grande. Its labeled as one of the most spectacular drives in America and it certainly lived up to all the press. Awesome.
The birds are in full migration and we saw birds I never knew existed. Wow! There's that word again.
Stayed in Langtry the other night and for you non Texans, thats where Judge Roy Bean ruled the law west of the Pecos river.Headed home now. Darn it.

Big Bend is a must see along with the drive from Lajitas to Presidio along the Rio Grande. I did have kind of a chocking feeling going through Langtry.
