Big Bend

It's been a few days since the last post and pictures. The reason I left for Big Bend Nat. Park on Friday and returned late Tuesday. Have been recovering from the 2 hikes (14mi on one) with elevation changes of 2000-2500 feet at altitudes of 7000 feet. Air is thinner up there as well as the legs are weaker. Bicycling and hiking use different muscles. Then 2 days rafting the Rio Grande and that country is desolate to say the least. The canyon let in no (or very little) sun during the day and it was chilly. Camped on the river one night and put on everything I took along to stay warm. The had to come back to work. Off to the Stars games and symphony this Thur, Fri and Sat. I'll get some pictures on the blog later when I figure out how
