We walked in to entrance of Boquillas Canyon and carried in all of our picnic goodies - a few bottles of cooking fuel, half a dozen reading glasses various strengths, several pair of new boots, a backpack full of candy, another full of jeans and shirts - you know, the usual picnic load. I misjudged the weight of it all and had to leave it all on the riverbank when I realized I couldn't carry it all back out...getting old is hell. Anyway, I would have been worried about a littering fine except that all of it was gone when we made it back up on the hill over the river and looked back, and I'd swear I saw Jesus waving and yelling gracias from the other side of the river. I think he had young Eduardo with him. Apparently Victor had the day off. At least I think that's what I understood him to say. Or maybe it was all a hallucination.
Oh well, easy come easy go...I'll just have to get more picnic gear next time.
