Pinto Canyon Road

I got up and watched the sunrise this morning as I sipped on my coffee. It wasn't the most spectacular sunrise that I've seen here but this morning's wasn't bad. Afterwards Nancy and I went into town for breakfast. I had a great bowl of menudo rojo and Nancy had huevos ranceros. After breakfast we went shopping and then toured Fort Leaton. Then we took a 150 mile road trip through the desert mountains on a  road traveled by very few. Pinto Canyon Road is a county road that cuts through the middle of the Pinto Canyon Ranch between Ruidosa and Marfa. The first 22 miles of it is dirt and gravel with several water crossings. It's been 10 years since the last time I ventured out on this road. It was a long day by the time we got back to the motorhome.
