Padre Island Beach

After finding it a bit too cold for camping in Southeastern Colorado, we headed south into Texas in search of warmer weather. We stopped at the Gulf of Mexico. :)

Corpus Christi has great beaches.

Picture Canyon

Comanche National Grasslands > Picture Canyon

Picture Canyon, located in the Comanche National Grassland in southeastern Colorado is home to beautiful natural rock formations and prehistoric rock art.

A picnic area with grills and a toilet are provided for use. No other facilities are provided. As the location is remote, please bring what you need; and take your refuse with you as you leave.

We came, we hiked, we camped. We had a great time... and then moved further south into Texas; in search of warmer weather.

Get up close to the rock art, but please don't touch

Lightning

While I was taking pictures of the lightning, a couple Border Patrol agents found us and questioned me about what I was doing in the middle of nowhere in the dark in a thunder storm.
