A few more random photos

Before we head into Big Bend today, I wanted to post a few odd random photos that didn't make it into either of our entries over the last few days. This morning we will shop for supplies here in Ft. Stockton (where we slept last night in a Sleep Inn) and do any last things we need to do before heading south and drive the last 100+ miles into Big Bend.

We've been in contact with the Ranger who is coordinating our volunteer work and we will be spending tonight in the Panther Junction area of the park, about 10 miles from where our regular assignment will be in Chisos Basin, because that site is still being vacated by the previous volunteer. We should be in our permanent site by Monday and will be "processed" for work on Tuesday and start our training. Looking forward to seeing our new 3-month home and learning what we will be doing.

Our mail has been forwarded to the park, so I already know we have a package of mail waiting which is always fun. If anyone wants to write or send anything while we are at Big Bend, feel free to do so. We will be getting our mail twice a week. We have been told that cell coverage is spotty and there is limited Internet, so we may be limiting our entries to once a week and/or whenever we have access to email. We'll have to see how it goes.

After over 10 weeks on the road, we have seen so many incredible places, experienced so many emotions, had so many great visits to people and places and we are about to jump into the next one that will no doubt be different than all those that have come before.  One of my goals was to never be bored, to be able to continue moving, thinking, learning and experiencing new things every single day and that has certainly happened. But it's not over yet. Not by a long shot.  On to Big Bend National Park......

Here are those few odd photos. Best wishes to all!
