After leaving Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains, we traveled south to Alpine, TX. Spent two days with dear friends (Abbey's former 2nd grade teacher from Big Bend and husband) relaxing and enjoying their company. I got caught up on grades, etc. so was very productive for me to have a few free days. On our way south we stopped by Balmorhea State Park, one of our favorite places. The girls and I donned our bathing suits and swam in the pool - an artesian spring, 76 degrees year round - not too cold for Alaska girls!
We have been in Big Bend National Park for three days now, arriving on Tuesday evening. Tomorrow we will take off for Saguaro National Park and then back to Vegas. We spent two full days hiking and driving all the hard surface roads and two well maintained dirt roads. Our evenings were spent catching up with friends.
Big Bend is dear to our hearts and we could spend lots more time here. It feels like "coming home."
