Last day in Big Bend

Long drive up Old Ore Road, a back country road to a nice hike up a wash to Ernst Tinaja and up into a canyon.  A tinaja is a pothole.  We turned back after the tinaja due to difficult boulder climbing.

Saw a Northern Mockingbird on the way back out.

Got back to camp in time for a long bike ride.

Busy tonight watching the Super Bowl.  That's why this is short. 

Two views of the road going in to Ernst Tinaja

Primitive campsite at Ernst Tinaja..  I liked the canoe in the desert camp.  And Kermit sitting on the water jug.

Here and below we have 2 different varieties of Prickly Pear Cactus

Red rock in many layers

Terlingua area

They live everywhere around here.  Which is odd since the whole population is around 300
