- Husband flew home from Pennsylvania after a flight delay on Tuesday night. Delayed our intention of leaving for far west Texas until the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
- As in 2 a.m. wee hours of the morning.
- Arrived in Mountain Standard Time at Guadalupe Mountains National Park and was thus happy to receive an extra hour of hiking.
- Our friends Deal and Steadee who we know via the Appalachian Trail met us out there and we then climbed up the tallest mountain in Texas.
- Got my ass kicked by said mountain.
- Had salad for lunch…I wonder why mountain kicked my ass? Hrm, let’s see here….
- Saw a beautiful sunrise from the top of Texas!
- Got my ass kicked yet again going up endless switchbacks to the McKittrick Ridge campsite.
- Saw tons of mule deer.
- Got pelted by rain and wind.
- Hiked among snow flurries. Got worried a white out would happen and then pondered the thought of losing the trail.
- Pondered for no reason as the sun came out a few hours later.
- Walked along beautiful creek beds
- Saw Barbary Sheep on the way down from the mountain this morning.
- Am very tired.
- Will hopefully get a few good posts up soon!
- Hope your Thanksgiving was great!

I like the summary! It made me chuckle. Jealous that you saw some Barbery Sheep (even though I don’t really know what they are), but not jealous that you got snow flurries, rain & wind!
