Headin' North!

This is near Boquillas Canyon, on the eastern side of Big Bend National Park. In this photo, the U.S. is on the right side of the river and Mexico on the left. 

This is at the mouth of Boquillas Canyon. Obviously, I'm standing on the U.S. side and Mexico is on the right side of the river. 

A few Mexican Burros grazing near the river. 

I don't know what kind of cactus this is, but I'm pretty sure the flower is safe from any intruders!

I'm getting a later start than I had planned, but I'm finally heading north to escape the heat. As of now, I'm in the Texas panhandle, visiting with family. My brother lives here but is in poor health so my sister, who normally lives in Georgia, is here helping to take care of him. I've been here a little over a week and plan to stay another 5 or 6 days, but will continue my journey north soon.

I'm not certain exactly where I'm headed. From here, I'm going to head up thru Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Soon after that, I'll have to decide if I'm going to turn left and go into Montana or turn right and head towards Minnesota and Wisconsin. I guess I'll play-it-by-ear, as they say. It should be a fun adventure, regardless of where I end up.

I haven't taken any pictures recently, so I've looked back through my recent trips and decided to share a few more pictures of Big Bend National Park, in Texas. Hope you enjoy them.

Until next time!
