Tuesday was a long, busy day and it was after 9 by the time we got back to the 'cottage'. It took over half an hour on the 7 mile rocky road from Grapevine Hills back to the paved highway, the sun set before we got into the car and we drove through the dark through the pass and into the basin. Everything was closed when we arrived at the lodge, with many of the rooms empty and most of the occupied ones dark. No TV or phones or internet, and most people likely as tired as we were from hiking all day.
The celebration was a this cake, a bottle of Chimay, and several rounds of 'Happy Birthday'® followed with decaf coffee. It got even cooler this evening which felt good after the hours in Terlingua during the heat of the day.
There was an English family next to us, their car doors slammed at 6 the next morning and they were off.
