|
|
Took a trip over to the Rio Grande today. This first picture is from above the gorge. The Rio Grande is down below. What's cool about this picture you can see how the Earth had separated millions of years ago to allow the Rio Grande to flow through.
Here are a couple pictures of the Rio Grande down where I was fishing.
Here's one of three rainbows I caught.

| Those are great pics. I would think the Rio Grande opened the earth up rather than vice versa, but I'm no geologist. Still awe inspiring any way you wanna look at it. |

Here's a brief snippet explaining about it. Several years ago I was up in Colorado and was actually at the headwaters of the Rio Grande where it first come out of the ground. So I've seen the Rio Grande from the beginning, middle and where it enters into the Gulf

| So many places to see. Heck I haven't even seen the Grand Canyon yet, and I consider myself at least modestly traveled. Come on retirement, lottery, adult adoption by wealthy couple.. whatever comes first |
