Todays outing
1/21/2021
To start with “the weather apps were WRONG!!” It was supposed to stop raining in the night. We headed out in a light off and on mist. We made a couple more stops at the lake on the way out. We were backtracking about 40 miles to the Pecos River Overlook, which is just a mile or so from the main destination.
More Pics of the lake.
The overlook and boat ramp on the Pacos River, There was almost no water at the boat ramp and Border Patrol was loading an air boat as we were leaving.
The boat ramp and over look are still part of Walk Lake and Amistad Recreation area, from looking at the pictures it looks like a lot of water but we could almost see where the Pecos and Rio Grande meet and it was like nothing more than a trickle entering the Rio Grande River.
Then it was time for the main attraction or the actual destination for today, Seminole Canyon State Park. With it looking like rain we didn’t take any walks earlier but signed up for a 3:00 guided tour of some rock art. Fortunately the weather cleared up around 2:00, the sunshine caused the temperature to climb, which really didn’t help on the climb back out of he canyon. It was cool when we descended for the climb back out we were over dressed with sweatshirts and hats.
While I’m in no way complaining, I was somewhat disappointed with how light and faded the artwork was. Nothing against the park it’s just time and weather has faded most of the art to a light stain on the rock walls, many have disappeared altogether or are to light to see from a distance and they are getting lighter by the decade.
Going down was easy, climbing back to the top of the canyon, not so easy………That’s all I’m going to say about that.
