Unfortunately, I'm back to the real world and civilization. The peace and quiet of the desert, mountains and river was absolutely wonderful, just wish my trip hadn't been so short. I'm going to post my photos to Facebook soon and I'll show my itinerary below. Big Bend National Park is awesome, hopefully I'll get to go back sometime to explore it even further. I hadn't been camping in awhile and that was a lot of fun too. I love my new tent and camp stove and hope to do some more camping this spring, summer and fall.

sounds awesome. i'm jealous. HOW MANY STAMPS DID YOU GET?
Well, I got four total, but one was a redo, so three. They are all for Big Bend though, I just didn't two visitor centers and the Rio Grande scenic river one (twice). I could have got more, but i thought it was a bit redundant.
