4 wheelin' down the Old Ore Road

Big Bend National Park.

The sign said recommend 4-wheel drive.

Well I highly recommend 4-wheel drive - this road was

built by horse and wagon and its rough 

in quite a few places.

But the views were amazing and the ride fun.

 And this roadrunner - he was the best poser.

 Ruins of an old house.

 The cactus were beautiful.

 The Rio Grande.

 Hot Springs House.

Will be returning tomorrow to see the mountains

up close and personal.

4 wheelin on the beach

The Matagorda beach and it was fun.

The show was also fun - as in peeps getting stuck

getting hauled out only to get stuck again.

It was amusing.

And kind of dangerous because you need a running start

to plow through the sand and cars everywhere doing it.

Looked like demolition derby night.

 Portuguese man o' war that didn't make it.

They are gorgeous and deadly.

And the cows had the best view of the ocean while chewing their cud.
