It is our last day in the park and we have yet to visit the Rio Grande Village campground area.  We check out the nature trail that includes a boardwalk along the river flats and a climb to a plateau circled by a tight horseshoe of the river.  It is great vantage point to take in the whole of the park.  Artwork and walking sticks are for sale all along the trail even so near the campground.  It seems like border patrol is turning a blind eye right now given the closed Boquillas Crossing.  The faint tinkle of a cow bell reaches our ears as far below on the river bank a band of burros emerges from the scrub and makes its way to the water’s edge where they take turns getting a drink.  The sun is blistering hot even at 10AM.  We head for shade and relax.  It makes for a nice end to the week.
