Day 224. March 18, 2014. Dusty and rough country

LOCATION:  Terlingua, TX.  Outside of Big Bend National Park

WEATHER:  Hot around 85 during the day

We took a drive west along the Rio Grande.  It was a wild, roller-coaster road.  Unfortunately, the Rio Grande isn't very "grande" anymore.  We read that 95% of the river gets diverted upstream to cities and farms

The river hardly has enough water for recreation, but we did see some people canoeing

We stopped for a picnic lunch under a teepee shelter

In the evening, we went to "the porch".  It is where locals hang out, drinking beer from the general store, and listening to musicians

Then, we had dinner at the Starlight Theatre next door with good food and live music.  We had an Axis burger, a different kind of deer found in Texas.

NOTE.... I have now added photos to Day 222, from Mexico
