SEMINOLE CANYON MAY 24

This morning we are taking a tour of the
 Fate Bell Shelter in  Seminole Canyon, Comstock Texas
 
Early morning visitors 
 Maker of Peace
 Fate Bell Shelter
We hiked down into the canyon about 250 feet

 Pictographs or drawings made by the indigenous 
people living here 2,000 to 8,000 years ago
The cat like figure with a long tail is depicted in several drawings
 Stick like people with long spears 
 The figure in the center is the Maker of the Peace





 This area was an ancient sea bed. 
Abundant fossils have been found.
Leaving the canyon we pass over Pecos River
The dirt road along the highway is used by the 
Border Patrol.  We saw their trucks pulling large tires
behind, clearing any tracks that might have been left??
Some areas have barbed wire topped fences.
Boarder Patrol coming at you..
 Border Patrol waiting and watching....
 Long freight train traveling along the canyon
 Another Border Check Point
Hey this one we can drive straight through very, very slowly!
 Big Bend National Park



 Tunnel getting to the campground
Wow, are we there yet ? 
97 miles in- hope they have a spot left for us-
It's 95 dry degrees and I really would like electricity!
Lucked out again-last spot-IT'S MINE
 Boquillas Canyon on Mexican Border
 Donkey that brought its owner over to the
 US side to sell his crafts.  Nicely made souvenirs,
Karen had to have one--a wire scorpion
Rio Grande River and Mexico
