Boquillas, Border Town Without a Border
We woke up a little bit after sunrise. It felt good, having slept in the cool night air without the fly on the tent. Even though both our bags are much warmer than we needed, even as exposed as we were, it was nice to have the cooler air on my face. And nice to wake up relatively free of sand. Of course there’s no escape from the sand entirely.

Ranking Walt Disney World Parks By Vibe
1. EPCOT EPCOT ball glowing the night with blue and green lights Immaculate vibes. A strong sense of nostalgia that normally would tarnish the vibes, but the wistful energy of what once was combines in a bittersweet way with the fresh breath of what is new, and what is renewed. Not to mention the educational benefits of this park, I mean the care taken to really instill any sort of factual tidbit into the minds of someone whose main goal coming here was probably to get absolutely wasted is admirable. RIP to Captain EO, which was not actually educational, just 80s puppeteer goodness.

Overnight Hiking the Marufo Vega Trail
My alarm went off a little before 6a. A coyote yipped and howled in a pattern that almost matched that of my alarm. Ian and I lay in the tent for another hour after the coyote stopped, worried that the sound of the alarm may have drawn its interest. The day before us was going to be a busy one. Ian dressed and headed up to the car to begin getting breakfast ready. I stayed down at the bottom of the hill and broke down our campsite, packing everything into the appropriate carry sacks and brought it all to the car. We packed our big backpacks while we ate.

Finishing the Marufo Vega Trail and Admitting Defeat. Top Story - June 2022.
Woke up hot, sticky and dusted with a fine layer of sand. I didn’t get a good night’s rest at all. Tossed and turned all night. The wind whipped the walls of the tent around and I had to tuck myself deep into my sleeping bag to keep from getting the grit in my eyes and mouth. When we woke up, we opened the doors of the tent, the air having gone still somewhere in the predawn hours and the humidity set in. There were tracks from the horses all around our tent. We packed up, trying our best to shake the sand from everything before stuffing it into our backpacks.
