I went down to the Pecos River today, where it crosses Hwy 1053 just outside if Imperial, Tx. Ive driven past it a dozen times, and always wanted to stop. Today wasnt a planned out trip, I just kinda wanted to go check it out. Im going to go again soon in the morning when its not so hot. It was only about 90 out there today, but the ground was almost solid sand.
The red square on this map is where I was. The river itself is outlined in yellow.
Some pictures of the river. Ive seen people fish there before, but I have no idea what for. The largest fish I saw was maybe 4" long.
"Big fish"
I was parked underneath the bridge that crosses the river, and there were sparrows everywhere. They had these awesome mud nests under the wings of the bridge.
After I checked out the bridge area I drove alongside the river to the East, and found some amazing trails. It looks like people take their 4-wheelers out there once and awhile, though the trails didnt look overly used. The country back away from the road was amazing too. I really cant wait to go back. I saw a ton of scorpion burrows, and some snake signs.

And one last shot that made me think of Sheri.
Edit: If you look at the map, along the very top youll see the name Coyote Corner. Its a very dubious landmark that marks the NE corner of our ranch. Its where the coyote hunters used to bring their kills so they could get paid.
