This is an interesting part of Texas that we have not seen before. The small mountains with many canyons and valleys remind us of West Virginia or the Smokey Mountains. We have mountain laurel in bloom here and it is reminiscent of the south in the springtime.
We took another mountain hike this morning and enjoyed some awesome scenery and great views on the mountains. Not as dramatic as the Chisos mountains of Big Bend, but a lot greener with lots of oaks and maple.
Weather remains good, eighty in the daytime and sixties at night. They are calling for a thunderstorm today or tomorrow, but Monday is sunny again.
Hoping that everyone is well back home.

A side stop on the trail
Monkey rock was pretty awesome! The kids loved it. Its about sixty feet tall!
