Who would have expected to find a hot spings spa in the middle of a Texas desert?  The Hot Springs trail is a lesser used trail that crosses a plateau on the north side of the Rio Grande, winds around several shallow ravines then descends to some hot springs adjacent to the river, near which are the ruins of a small village.  In the picture above you can see members of our group taking full advantage of this natural spa.

We returned for another magic lunch prepared by our guide and our group leader. Afterwards we returned to the lodge and prepared to explore Terlingua Ghostown with our guide Cynta de Naverez.  At 6:30 we had dinner at the Starlight Theatre, accompanied by some great Country music, Texas style.
