A view from my cabin of "My Thumb"!

This is what I call "My Thumb". It is the peak called "El Pico" in the Sierra Madres of Mexico. I can see this from my back deck in Big Bend! It's my FAVORITE view!!!

A typical sunrise in the mountains over Mexico!

A view through our front gate, looking up at Mt. Williams.

It's a quarter mile driveway up the hill!

A view of the front porch area with the mountains in the background!
