Seminole canyon state park
What an amazing place. We are at the junction of the Seminole canyon and the Rio grande. You can practically hear the cowboys yipping the doggies along.. and at the edge of the canyon (100 foot drop) over looking the river, I'm sure we saw where Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid jumped into the water. Mexico is just across the Rio. There are caves with pictographs and early cave art.. A famous cave is called the Panther cave. We walked a 6 miles round trip in the desert and saw some truly great things. Yodelled in the canyon, and it yodelled back just as it supposed to. Saw a rabbit as it crossed our path, lots of birds (including buzzards) , deer tracks, desert fauna, and a noticeable lack of humans. ( which Jack said he really enjoyed)
Took a guided tour into 'Fate Bell Rockshelter' pictographs within reach (no touch though) paintings dated back 4200 years
We're in a state park so big spacey sites with cactus and brush around. Purr cat was out scouting around along with our neighbour campers with their bird watcher binoculars --maybe not a good scenerio. Jack's been signing the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" song as the view outside our window is amazing.
Camera battery needs charging so will add pictures soon.
bye for now
