Esperanza!

Somewhere between Fort Hancock, Sierra Blanca, I-10 & the Mexican border. These roads are so remote that Google Maps doesn't accurately track them, the only people I see are Border Patrol, and herds of cattle and horses aren't always behind fences.

While walking a long, lonely, very pretty country road Saturday, I just had to stop and say hello to these guys in Esperanza. (Behind fences, these horses welcomed me to approach and snap some pics.)

The following morning, I would end up meeting a cross-country bicyclist, Sylvia Halpern, who snapped this pic before continuing on her way to Van Horn for the day.
