R'ome in the Middle of NOWHERE

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, February 7-9, we were in Big Bend National Park. Now if you think that you live in the middle of nowhere or you've once been in the middle of nowhere but you haven't been or lived in Big Bend, you're wrong. Big Bend National Park is literally NOtheWHERE (the middle of nowhere)!!!! 

We stayed in the Rio Grande RV Village which is at the edge of the middle of nowhere. You could spit on Mexico or in my case the Rio Grande River which runs along the border, so I am going to count that as Mexico. My spit doesn't need a passport (I hope)!! On Monday afternoon we took a nature hike up one of the overlooks to see the gorgeous scenery of the Rio Grande River.

Then on Wednesday we hiked the Hot Springs Trail which was more than seven miles round trip to a natural hot spring on the bank of the Rio Grande River. It was so hot and dry but breathtaking both the hike and the scenery.

Jack and I didn't complain, so we got "special snacks" when we returned to camp!! 

The next day we left but decided that it would be worth returning and taking our chances again in the middle of nowhere.
