June 5, 2009




















This was our first full day off this week. We are only assigned Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays but I am still collecting prizes for the fishing day so off to the merchants we went. Walmart finally came thru with a $50 gift card. Some of the local merchants were very supportive (fishing poles, backpacks and many meal coupons).

We hiked to the base of Zapata Falls today. You have to hike thru COLD water to get to the falls. That is saved for next week when we are better prepared (water socks) and maybe a little warmer. It is an easy hike (1/4 mile) but it climbs over 500ft in that short distance. We are both having a little trouble getting used to the altitude. We also hike the sand dunes. Check out the tiny prickly pear with a big sign....definitely not our Texas pear. The horse cripplers were in beautiful bloom.
