Rio Grande - Day 2 - Later


Note: Left click on any photo to enlarge.


From Rabbit Ears, we continued on downstream for a little over two hours. Along the way, we exited Boquillas Canyon. Here is my last photo in the canyon.


We arrived at our campsite, this time on the Mexican side of the river, around 4:00. The river distance covered by us on this day was about 11 miles, leaving us with only about 8 miles to paddle on Sunday to the takeout at La Linda.

Susan and I took a short hike up above the river before dinner. This photo shows a mountain which had been part of the scenery ever since we left the canyon. Susan claimed that it looked like an elephant's head, with the small gap at the top defining the space between its ears. I guess you had to be there.





I'm not sure, but the sunlit gap in the mountains may well be the exit from Boquillas Canyon we had passed through earlier.


I'll refrain from any comparisons.

















Joline, Zoltan, Eddie, Cynthia, Sandra, Susan, and Mike, a/k/a The Magnificent Seven, enjoy our dinner of shrimp fettucini alfredo. We were really roughing it.









The sun set behind the Sierra del Carmen.
