Went back to the McDonald Observatory for the 11am tour. Watched a great presentation with a live view of the sun through a filtered telescope. Then the tour took us up to the 107 in. telescope built in 1968, the second largest in the world when built. After that they took us over to the 9.2 meter telescope, 4th largest in the world.
We headed north after that. Just a short way up the road we encountered a semi roaring downhill around a turn in our lane! We both swerved just enough to miss. Too close!
Arrived in Guadaloupe Mountain NP around 5. Went for a 2.5 mile hike into the canyon.
The trail went by 2 springs. Seemed so odd to see those in the desert.
