Early rising makes for a quick day! We got going at 9am and made it to our destination by 3:30pm, right at the base of Guadalupe Peak, Texas’ highest mountain at 8,749ft.
Ryan listened to the entire Fahrenheit 451 today as an audio book and I painted a big rock! This is El Capitain, just short of Guadalupe Peak which is hidden behind.
We are camped just below El Captiain’s base at a highway picnic stop and the clear skies are promising some beautiful stars tonight ✨ 🌟 ⭐️ Tomorrow we are taking the day off for a hike! 8 miles and a 3,000ft climb will put us on top of the entire state of Texas.
Route info for interested readers:
We took the 54 to the T in the road and went right on highway 62 to the first picnic stop the hills were very gradual or nonexistent until the 62, now we have some big ones!
There and Back Again
