El Cosmico
Marfa, Texas
30°18'11.4"N 104°01'15.4"W
closed canyon
a very narrow slot canyon along rt170 inside big bend ranch state park
winding through battered walls of changing igneous rock
do not jump down any drops you can't climb back up
Big Bend Ranch State Park
29°19'35.9"N 104°01'55.4"W
a stranger days before told me about a secret water fall deep in big bend national park
where i found four fellow wanderers already in on the secret
while hiking back out of the canyon that column of clouds had us wondering if the world had desended into nuclear warfare while we were gone
possibly the most memorable evening
spent with strangers
now friends
