Today in Big Bend we had a 4 mile hike to Mule Ear Spring.  All along the way we had different views of the Mule Ears, a pair of peaks that are volcanic plugs, the had rock that forms of lava at the end of an eruption and is all that's left after erosion wears away the rest of the volcano.  They are pretty cool.  I remember a similar structure in Guatemala called Piedras Partidas or Parted Rocks.

Later we went scouting our hike for tomorrow, Carlene wants to do Emery Peak, the high point of the park.  Up to Chisos Basin to check out the campground and trail-head.  They don't recommend trailers over 20' on the road and I can see why.  One hairpin turn on the main road up and three more going into the campground.
