Tuesday, November 6th

I was camped at the small RV site at Big Bend National Park. It’s a parking lot which holds 24 trailers or RVs.

Mexico is on the other side of the Rio Grande River

These are crafts the people on the other side of the river bring across the river and offer for sale on the honor system. It isn’t legal to buy them. I talked to a man who lives in the area. He said the rangers don’t remove these items. It’s not like it’s drugs.Chisos Mountains

 

Chisos Basin campground. Beautiful spot full of young couples sleeping in tiny REI tents. A lot of hiking.

A hot spring. It’s about a quarter mile hike.

A photo from Gradalupe Mountains National Park just southwest of Carlsbad Caverns.

 

For viewing the bats.

Entrance for walking down 750 vertical feet to the “Big Room”. Fortunately there is an elevator to return to the surface,
