Our last stop in New Mexico was the Organ Mountains National Mountain. Hiking was a bit rugged but it was a beautiful and unique mountain range. We hiked back to a cave and to a tiny waterfall.

Very tiny waterfall

We left for Texas in a terrible sand storm. We set up in our lovely campsite and stayed inside the rest of the day with no power and wind rocking our camper. We couldn't see our neighbor or the nearby mountains. The next day dawned sunny and calm and power was restored. Now out to hike and look at petroglyphs!

I think this looks like a dinosaur but I'm pretty sure they were extinct 4000 years ago! Maybe a lizard?

The chain trail. Zoom in to see the chains you can use to help get up the mountain. And, yes we did make it to the top where we saw some petroglyphs and crawled into a small cave.

 Texas is evil. Everything is trying to hurt you. This thorn went all the way through the sole of Denny's shoe! And, while geocaching, a snake fell out of the tree I was under, scaring the s**t out of me!

   Trees grow in crazy shapes in Texas.

Black vultures drying their wings or catching some rays. There were a LOT of them.

 At our next to last stop in Texas we were joined by my great niece Brittany and her charming daughter Charlotte. I forgot how busy babies are and now know what needs to be done to baby proof the RV! What fun!

Sweet Charlotte

Hiking and hoping for a nap 😀

Next it's on to Louisiana and then the Natchez Trace Parkway.
