Morrie and Mountain Lions

This past Friday, my friends Chris and Zohaib and I drove eight hours to spend the weekend at Big Bend National Park.  We had no idea just how ridiculous the trip would end up.  For starters, a raccoon attempted to derail our adventure before it even began.  Then, we got pulled over by the park police just to be told "Have a great weekend!"  And, to top it all off, Zohaib and I were almost devoured by a mountain lion.  Okay, we were not almost devoured, but we did run into a mountain lion during a hike on Saturday afternoon.  Luckily, the creature seemed disinterested in us, and we bushwhacked off the trail to get around the great beast.


Anyways, here are a few more pictures from the weekend.  Big Bend is really a gorgeous place, and I recommend giving the park a visit.
