We decided to do a little geo-caching today and wouldn't you know, the computer was down so we couldn't get to the information we needed but Hardy had a few in his IPad. We took off to LaJoya and found two caches in the conservation area. We stopped at the gate and there was a sign stating you had to have permission to enter so we decided we better leave but then we noticed a parking area just down the road so stopped there and they had a walking trail into the area. We found the caches but the last one was a little harder to find and off the beaten track, through the brush and under a tree. There were lots of thorns on the bushes so Hardy went after the cache and I guarded the road for critters. We took our chairs out of the car and had a picnic under the trees in the parking lot. It was a nice day for a walk in the area.
Yturria and LaPuerta
These disjunct areas of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge are located directly on US 83 between La Joya and Rio Grande City. Both are undeveloped except for some old roads allowing foot access, both are narrow tracts of land stretching north for a couple of miles from the highway, and both, with their upland thorn scrub habitat, are known as good places to see birds associated with more arid country farther west.
