As we’ve no doubt mentioned, we work 3 days followed by 3 days off. One of those off days is rather busy as we do our laundry, housecleaning and grocery shopping. However, that leaves 2 days to see the sights. Mostly we hike: just the two of us, with visiting friends or with other volunteers.

We’ve hiked in the mountains.

Boot Canyon looking towards the Sierra del Carmens

Looking down from Emory Peak, the highest point in Big Bend, 7825 feet

We’ve hiked in the desert.

On the way to Bruja Canyon

Interesting geology near Apache Canyon

Looking across Onion Flat

We’ve seen old corrals,

older pictographs,

and even older fossils.

And then we sit back and enjoy the sunsets.
