Camped out at La Posada with El Toro in the background.

Flavor of Mexico. The locals are real friendly.

La Posada, one of the places to stay in the Potrero. El Toro is the peak in the background with "El Sendero Luminoso" almost visible.

A crazy colored lizard, found on the summit of TWZ.

El Potrero Chico Park Entrance

Such a great name, and I found the Plaque to be ironic! If there were more sport climbing areas like this there might be more Trad dads hanging up their racks!

This local spot on Dr. Mier road just north of the Plaza Municipal has some amazing tacos de barbacoa and cabrito (baby goat) stew. The crew working there called the place Comidas de Mireya y Chano, but it technically has no name or signage outside. #supportlocal #babygoats

Laura and me drinking beer in the sky!

Lucita at Posada. No muedes!

The view from La Posada

Crescent Moon follows the right skyline over the giant hole. The tyrolean traverse takes you back onto the main rock. Ten minute approach from the road.

Sigh
