'Special'

Today we had the tent down in record time to get to Chisos early for a full day of hiking. Jo and I walked the Basin trail and Window. All downhill through an empty river bed with waterfalls to a pour off. For somebody who is scared of heights, I don't know what possessed me to slide down to the bowl on the lip of the 200ft drop. However, it gave a great view over the park and involved a very interesting way of actually getting out of the bowl.

Vica hiked the South Rim, Emery Peak and the Window (3 days hikes in one day) 'special'. While we waited for super woman to arrived we sat next to a man who felt the need to tell us about his 'wind' problem. Jo and Vica did the window view while I sat in the basin people watching and trying to work out how to call the campsite. Why don't phones have instructions on them?
Bath time in the hot springs again with a group of spring breakers.
