We just got back from our 2nd expedition from west Texas, and it was pretty cool out there. We landed in El Paso Texas, where we then went straight to Wal-Mart to have a food buy for the next two weeks. We then headed to a very windy camp site where we stayed for several days; it wasn’t my favorite campsite in the world. Mostly we just did school there but we also went to Carlsbad Caverns and the visitor’s center, where we did more school. The wind made it hard to cook so we had cold trail pizzas for one night.
After that we went to another windy campsite inside of Big Bend Nat’l Park, where we all got our own two liter of soda to drink. This of course was totally necessary for the back country in Big Bend.
We then left to go to the backcountry where we hiked about 5 miles the first day 3 the second. It would have been more but falcons decided to steal our trail. Then we hiked two miles the last day. We saw a few people on the way informing us of a mountain lion attack that happened on our first day in the backcountry so we weren’t supposed to be in that area, whoops.
We finally got out of the backcountry and went back to El Paso, went to a buffet and came back to N.C.
