Sunday April 9th
 |
| Left this nice Cottonwood Camp this morning after a couple of days and nights |
 |
| Our spot at Cottonwood |
 |
| All steel shelter at the Dinosaur exhibit that I liked |
 |
| Bed and Breakfast in Marathon - probably should have checked in |
 |
| a nice public spring pool at Balmorhea Springs State Park not far from Fort Stockton NM - there were pup fish and catfish in there |
 |
| Dennys at Pecos where I had my second straight day of chicken fried steak and I think that may do it for the next little while. |
Travel day. We have turned north and west. Out of the Big Bend to Marathon where we found a lovely shirt and bag for S’s birthday. Spilled our new bag of ground coffee all about the cockpit of the Subaru but had a couple of Sunshine smoothees to help us through that trauma. On to the Fort Stockton Walmart for a change of scene. Followed that with a visit to Balmorhea Spring for a dip. Ensconced in the Hampton Inn in fair Pecos, swooning in a post chicken-fried steak glow and enjoying the view from our third floor room onto i-20 as it goes north to Odessa and Midlands; this is hard country (except for the Balmorhea springs where even the Apaches grew peaches once upon a time).
