Day 221. March 15, 2014. Wading in the Rio Grande

LOCATION:  to Big Bend National Park.  Along the Rio Grande in far SW Texas
WEATHER:  Sunny. High about 75

We got up early in order to get to Big Bend.  We drove about 150 miles, but it was slow going.  When we got to the campgrounds, our friends whom we had met a few days ago had kindly reserved us a site.  There were only about 5 available.  

We drove across the mountains in Big Bend to get to our campground.  Really rugged scenery.  
In the PM, we went with our friends to a nearby hot springs.  It is on the Rio Grande.  We jokingly said that this looks like George is climbing back to the USA. Our friend Daniel  is in the background, along the Mexican side.

We walked to another part of the river.  Here are George and Daniel walking back from Mexico on the right. 

DINNER:  We grilled hamburgers over the campfire and enjoyed the nice evening outdoors with our friends.  

The ranger came by to warn us of 50 mph winds tonight.
