Actually, yes and no. It's always great to be in the Davis Mountains, but unfortunately we only had a little clear(-ish) weather. Sunday night was good by most standards, although not up to par by west Texas standards. Friday night was OK, but still a little less good. Other than that, there was just an occasional hour here and there, mostly not. One day, it didn't even get out of the 50s, with low scud, fog and occasional rain elsewhere.

We went down to Big Bend one day and hiked up the Pinnacles Trail looking for the Colima Warbler, which lives at 6500' and above. We found one in the top of a tree at 6572' :-) Being the Louisiana mountaineer that I am (NOT!), I was walking like Fred Sanford the next day (following 5.5 miles in 2.5 hours, 1200' up and down).

All in all, it's always fun, but more clear skies would have made it much nicer. I'll be back next year with my family, first week in June.

Thanks for asking!
