From Bisbee we drove across AZ and NM into Texas spending the night in Sierra Blanca’s city park. We discovered that this is where the southern route of the second continental railroad line met - one from CA and one from East Texas. Also Geronimo surrendered at this place. But if you come here to see something special all you will find are signs.
We arrived at the Maverick Ranch RV Park shortly after lunch. Supposedly they were full for the weekend but we were able to extend our stay two more days if we wanted and we never saw a full park. We are on the edge of the Big Bend State Park so we took advantage of the hiking trails near us. A short hike from the RV park we watched zip lines spanning canyon spaces. Another hike took us out into the desert and back. I love looking for all the signs of spring in this arid landscape with blooming cacti and bushes including ocotillo.
