Driving down to Chisos Basin too was the same thing. Long line of people waiting because there were way too many cars down in the Basin. So, it was one car out, one car in. We stood in line for like 30 minutes before being allowed to drive down into the Basin. Beautiful drive as usual. I will try to post this video when I can.
Long line at the entrance

Mountains at the start of the trail heading down to the Basin.

Boquillas Canyon Overlook.
Here is another part of the National Park where you find these souvenirs for sale. Buying any of these is all based on the honor system. You take what you want and drop the money there. Sadly, if a bad person takes something and does not pay, there is nothing the sellers can do about it. You basically just steal it and walk away, which is not a good thing to do because the people across the border in the town of Boquillas basically depend on the tourists visiting Big Bend NP for most of their income. That is why visiting Boquillas is kind of expensive.

Random pictures to keep me awake on this tiring 15 hours straight drive through the night.

30 minutes standstill traffic at midnight on I-10. The number of 18 wheelers driving at night on this highway is a lot!

1:30am. I zoomed passed this and realized it was towing the Ghostbusters car. Lol, I just let off the gas pedal and my car coasted until this truck passed me up and I took some pictures before leaving it behind.

3:00am restroom break and gas top off. 5 minutes of exercise and back on the road. Very tired but making good time.

Driving through the tunnel in Mobile, AL.

My tiredness got the best of me and I pulled over at the next rest stop and I immediately fell asleep like all the other people already asleep in their cars parked next to mine. Woke up 90 minutes later and freshened up and got back on the road. This 16 hours drive is not over yet.
Got caught in a sudden torrential downpour of rain. Florida with its showers. 2.5 hours left to get to my final destination of the day.

Went out and did a lot today around Savannah. Here are some of the pictures I took that I e joy looking at. Some are random pics.
The Fountain at Forsyth Park

And if you ever wondered how the Fountain looks from above, I took some aerial shots.

Next was the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist

And how it looks from above.

And next to the church was this beautiful Fountain.

Next I went to see The Olde Pink House

Angel Oak. 300 to 400 years old oak tree in the Charleston, SC area.

I enjoyed seeing the GEORGIA QUEEN and took over 20 pictures and a video. Decided to share 5 of my favorite.

And a collection of random pictures I have taken so far that I wanted to share.
A stop at the Toyota dealership to look at this 2023 40th Edition Toyota 4Runner

Random cars I saw that peeked my interest and I took pics. Very interesting how they have their cars decorated

2 gentlmen enjoying their custom buggies and allowing people to pose with it if you wanted pictures of yourself with any of the buggies

My car by a mural in Charleston, SC

Historic stairs at the Cotton Exchage at the River Walk in Savannah, GA.

Love it! As close as you can get considering how rare '59 Miller Meteors are.
