Big Bend National Park

Next stop Big Bend National Park with golf date at Dancing Rabbit near Philadelphia, MS on the way. Well the best plans always seem to change. My cold was not helped by the weather at Talladega so not in playing shape for golf. Rested for a day and proceeded to Texas. One night in Tyler, TX, second night in Big Spring, TX. Then arrived at Big Bend National Park. Gorgeous park of desert, mountains all around, Rio Grande river. Planned to spend few days exploring area.

Unfortunately adventure plans always changing. Of course Mary caught the cold I had been fighting and her symptoms were much worse. Because the park area is about as remote as you can get, we headed for civilization, El Paso, TX. Had Mary checked out and after diagnosis of pneumonia, spent couple nights in hospital. After release with some drugs we decided some dry warmth would do us both some good, and there is plenty of that in the southwest.
Headed for Tucson, AR.

  1. Pneumonia? What a bummer. I hope that Mary feels better soon. All the best.
