Eastern 1998, a trip to Big Bend National Park TX (click on images)

While some people were busy, I explored the Texan-Mexican border. cross_p.jpg (74435 bytes)   grande_s.jpg (46795 bytes)

Crossing the boarder would have been to mus hassle with my Alien II standard.  At least I threw a stone across the Rio Grande to Mexico.

The lower part of the campground was off limits because of a mountain lion with two kiddies. Great idea!! And how does the lion know that the upper part is off limits for her?  The rangers gave us good advice: "If you see a lion, appear large and throw stones." Pointed stones, to follow the stoning  interpretation of Monthy Phython?
