The fully loaded pick up flashed it’s brake lights. “run!” We hopped in the back and rode into town: Dust in eyes, cramped, smiling. We hopped out to the Tuesday market, a weekly circus, of sorts, in Hidalgo. With empty packs, and a check list, we set out for weekly groceries, amid yelling, laughter, and confusing.Everything is going well here in El Potrero Chico. The famine is over. I came here without any friends, and tonight, I shared a steaming pot luck with many new friends. Yesterday, I climbed 800′ into the dessert air- good for the soul. Andrew is scheduled to arrive in a couple days. All is well. Here are a few photos, talk to you soon.-E

Looking through your picutres, I have to remind myself I’m not looking at a National Geographic or something. And that the person behind the camera is not some stranger having some adventure in some far off place. It looks like you’re having a great time. I can’t wait to hear about it when you get back!
Thanks for the update, Eli. From the looks of it, you’re getting in some difficult lines. Good for you.
I’m happy to hear that you met some good people there. Keep the updates coming.
Looks spectacular- you’ve got such an eye! The area and the climbing look incredible- can’t wait to hear about it
Wonderful to hear you are meeting folks and having a great time, Eli. And the photos are great!
Great post, Eli. Once again, loving the pictures- better all the time! Goes to show what an inspiring place can bring from within you.
It’s great to see what you’re experiencing everyday. Miss you!
