rain upon our arrival

the last load has made its way to terlingua. The rains started just as well got to Study Butt. Hiding out in the Boat House drinking and playing pool while the rains poured down. When they stopped, Joey (my helper) who has not been out to the ranch yet, says "ok it stopped lets go." I did not think we would make it... and I was right. The first big wash we got to was flowing like a river. We stopped and camped on the road. The next morning it was slow enough to cross. I was not sure we would be so lucky crossing the black rock cannon creek crossing, but we got stuck in the mud prior to even getting there. With some digging and a lot of mess we got the trailer moving again and made it to the ranch that day. Spent a lot of time over at the Auga Fria watering hole, where the dogs had fun with the longhorns watering there as well. Joey passed out in front of some folks we met and were talking to. Vinegar drink was the cure. Here are some shots before the camera stopped working.
