Seminole Canyon State Park protects the Fate Bell shelter and leads guided tours to the location.  Our guide is a wonderful storyteller and made the trip great fun. Kent captured the images to try to give others a feel for what is here but you really need to see the art in its context to fully appreciate how these people lived.

There isn’t much else around here but it’s worth the side trip to check it out. Besides the cave art we have seen fox, whitetail deer, roadrunners and rabbits.  The climate is weird.  It is desert terrain with desert plants but humidity is 50%+ thanks to prevailing winds from the south and the affect of the huge Amistad reservoir.  It looks like desert but feels like it ought to be much greener.  We did hit the IHOP in Del Rio.  I saw an ad for the double dipped French toast with blackberries and couldn’t resist!  It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but not bad.
