hello from Big Bend Texas

 
 
Hello,
This is test number 4 to download some pictures.

We drove for 3 days to get to Texas. First night in Richmond Illinois, second in Springfield, Missouri and the third night just inside the Texas border in Wichita Falls. Easy driving, although strong headwinds used more fuel. We managed to hook up with Susan and Rick in Fredicksburg, Texas. Nice to get caught up, play some bridge then headed to Seminole Canyon State Park, near Del Rio, right on the Rio Grande. Very windy and hot. We took a tour of the best, oldest pictoglyphs in USA down into a hoooootttt dry river valley and then up to a cave. Very interesting with a pleasant guide who was quite knowledgeable.
These pictures are of some of the cactus blooms. Ocatillo is the spiny red. You would not see a speck of green on the plant, just dry branches with the bit of color on the top.
