Day (I have lost count of the days and will just put the date from now on) 2/20/23.
Heading to Big Bend National Park. It is an 8 hourish drive, so we decided to split it up into a 2 day drive. Stopped at a few sites along the way!
Fort McKavett
But the BEST stop (well almost best) was the Caverns if Sonora. We were headed for our camping spot (Fort Lancaster Scenic Overlook) and saw a sign for Caverns of Sonora, which was on the way and not TOO far off course!
This cave was discovered in the early 1920s and wasn't fully explored until the 1950s with nothing but a small candle for light! We walked down beneath the earth about 150 feet....a stunning display of nature!
Well, earlier I said "almost the best".......THIS was the best part of the day! Fort Lancaster Scenic Overlook!!!!
Hello there BEAUTIFUL view (and hello 81 degrees)!
AND even better SUNSET!
Ernie is busting out the telescope because the starts are going to be amazing! Sorry, can't take pics of the stars! But they will be glorious, I guarantee!
Onto the Big Bend tomorrow!
Night!
