We had a great time and were serenaded by several groups of coyotes every night and morning.

Hope y'all enjoy!
 
Great pictures looks like you had a nice time. That area outside your tent looks tricky if you had to go out in the middle of the night with all those cactus around. Thanks for sharing your adventure.:thumbup:
 
Were you around Big Bend National Park.Some of the landscape looks like Terlingua.Arnold

cool looking dog too...:D
 
That looks like a great trip!! Thanks for the pics! :thumbup:
 
Great pics,you looked like you had a great time !!!
My only question.....why pitch the tent in the middle of all those cacti.....didn't it make those nightime toilet trips awkward?
 
Nice dog, and I really like that saddle you (the father) have.
