USA map showing location of Texas

Located in the foothills of the Davis Mountains at an elevation of 5,100 feet, the temperatures are usually cooler than in most other areas of Texas. However, it was a fairly warm day when the two RV Gypsies arrived here. They came here because the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center is said to have hiking trails, walking paths, botanical gardens, a cactus and succulent greenhouse, Geology and mining exhibits, and interpretive exhibits. On this date, Adults cost $6.50 each. Children 12 and under plus members are free.

Before entering the Powell Visitor Center to purchase their ticket and get a trail guide and map, the two RV Gypsies took a few moments to photograph the outside beauty.

Just then, it started raining so the two RV Gypsies chose not to pay the entry fee to Chihuahuan Desert Center although they were very disappointed not to be able to explore its 18-acre fenced garden including the Maxie Templeton Cactus Museum and the Bird Blind.

And before they got to their next location, they got a flat tire, but a kind gentlemen stopped and helped them change the tire (after a bunch of others did not stop to help). So much appreciated.
