Desert adventures, Part 1

(Moonrise over Las Cruces)

For Spring Break this year, we spent almost 2 weeks in the deserts of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.  Our destination was Big Bend National Park in southwestern Texas, along the Rio Grande River.  Our 3-day drive out followed I-10, Highway 90 southeast, and then Highway 385 south to Big Bend NP.
