Camping At Big Bend National Park 2019 - Day 4, Part 1: Hiking

We decided to make the most of our last day at Big Bend.  Well, the most we could make since we hadn't been prepping in advance for some of the more strenuous hikes we would have liked to have done.

We got up early to hike the Window Trail again.

Havard Agave (Agave havardiana), or century plant.  It blooms once in its life after growing 20-50 years, then dies.

A beautiful Mexican Jay.  There were several of these birds near the path in the cool early morning.

Tunnel Vision

You may recall that while the local park is closed (due to flooding aftermath) I've been sometimes walking along the canals that snake through our neighborhood (ooh, foreshadowing).

Along the way there are several tunnels; I thought I'd chronicle a few below.  There are more after the jump.

I don't go through this one anymore - their are light fixtures along the left wall and all are thickly covered with spider webs and a disturbing amount of harmful-looking brown spiders.  They're on the ceiling too and the thought of one dropping on me makes my skin crawl.

Miscellaneous

Have a few things to post to get up to to date, so without further ado:

South Dakota Trip 2013 - Day 6

Breakfast at Tally's again.  Thought about splurging and getting a country fried steak breakfast (something I have never done), but then thought better of it and had a 2 egg breakfast with scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns.
