We had a great day in Big Bend National Park. We spent the day on
Old Ore Road, an unimproved road that follows the original path of the ore
wagons that supported the mining that took place here in the 1890s. Silver,
cinnabar and quicksilver were mined here. This is the reason we bought the
jeep. We wanted to get off the beaten path and enjoy the backcountry.

Once back to the Stillwell Store we enjoyed a beer on the front
porch before getting things put away for the night.

Tomorrow will be spent on the river road along the Rio Grande.
Weather here has been excellent. While in the nineties, it has been comfortable
since the humidity has been low. This is also a great time to be here since so
much of the desert plant life is blooming.
