Day 6: Off to Del Rio

Did a load of laundry this morning before heading out to Del Rio.  I'm giving this laundry room a 5.  It was pretty nice and clean except for the floor which was very dirty and you know something is bound to fall out of the washer or dryer onto the floor.

Del Rio is just an overnight stop in our quest to get to Big Bend National Park by the weekend.  This park runs alongside the Rio Grande River and literally just across the border from Mexico.  The park we are staying in tonight is within 5 miles of the border and I am a bit nervous about being this close to Mexico after the episode the US had last year with the Mexicans.  If you don't hear from us within a day or two, call 911.
 
The drive here was typical scrub Texas landscape...i.e. nothing for miles on end.

TOTAL MILES DRIVEN:  1,301
