Day 139, Friday, March 6, 2026 - Hueco Tanks State Park, El Paso, TX, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 4,807.3 Miles for the Trip.
52°F overnight, 61°F when I walked to the tour starting point, 74°F at noon, and the high for the day was 74°F, 67°F at 4:00.
I decided to walk to the tour start so by the time I got there I had done 1/2 of my daily walk. By the time I finished the tour and got back to the trailer I had done almost 4 miles. Most of the hike was on gravel paths, but there was some rock crawling and head ducking sections. Some photos from the tour:

It was almost 1:00 by the time I got back to the trailer. Quite a bit of wind. I sat outside and it was too cool with the wind when in the shade, but too hot in the sun. Eventually, I moved into the trailer and started on this page. Still cool enough that the AC was not necessary. In fact, it got cool enough that by 4:00 I shut off the MAXX fan and just left a window & the fan cover cracked open. The wind also calmed down, but the entire site is in the shade so it feels cool at 67°F.
Dinner was one of my frozen leftovers - My chicken chili.
Until Next Time -
