Rio Grande Village

Laundry day.  Living out in the middle of NOWHERE, you have to drive a long way to find a washer and dryer.  Almost 50 miles.  But there IS free wifi at Rio Grande Village, so we are happy.  A delicious meal of home baked bread with cheese and a diet Pepsi for beverage on the drive down sure hit the spot. After laundry we will hit the Rio Grande Village Nature Trail in hopes of doing some spectacular birding.  We saw road runners down here last week.  Today I hope to see a Pyrrhuloxia.  Or something equally delightful.  Then latter we hope to go up to Boquillas Canyon.  One more day off, then it's back to the mines (or in our case, the visitor center).  Yes, we are working on Thanksgiving day.  We are going to Natasha's for a little turkey that evening, but it won't be the same as the spread my sista puts on at her house!  We will miss you guys, Chelle!
