I do not know of any dinosaur egg finds in the area and that would create quite a stir. There are a lot of hadrosaurs around, some species of which have been documented to have exhibited nurturing behavior and nest protection. Avian is not a word used with dinosaurs, but if it were actually a pterosaur egg, that would be more amazing indeed, and just about never heard of. dinosaurs did turn into birds; their bone structure is a dead give-away, but the big ones weren't the ones to make the jump, it was the chicken sized raptors.Mike Davidson2010-02-09T05:46:39Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2008/02/28/here-be-mystery-the-marfa-lights-and-things-unknown.aspx#comment-2792117Nice post. I don't believe that marfa lights can be seen but in my next vacation surely visit this place. Texas is a good place. Don't miss the sun-soaked sands of the Bombay beach. for more details referMarfa Lights2010-02-05T12:05:06Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2010/02/02/riding-the-red-dawn-at-los-caballos-marathon-tx.aspx#comment-2784744My sister and I have painted at Big Bend each year with the OPS. I understand the feeling in your innards when you see that incredible vastness and light and color. It is indescribable -to me anyway, but you do it so well with your words and your paintings. This painting really soars! A special baby that just flew from the end of your arm and, if you're like me, you don't know how and feel that you can never do it again...until it happens again and amazes you even more. I look forward to your blog and am so excited when it arrives. Thank you for sharing those wonderful 'innard feelings' with us and "remember to breathe" as my sister and I always have to remind each other.Sandy2010-02-03T14:59:00Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2008/02/28/here-be-mystery-the-marfa-lights-and-things-unknown.aspx#comment-2303493Very informative article.

Having lived among large cities, small towns in suburbia, along with the unforgiving landscape of the Alaskan wilderness and deserts of Arizona I find your article dead on.<br /><br />When I decided to leave Alaska for the city life again in the lower 48, I felt as if I sold out and wimped out. I also felt like I was giving up something that could never be duplicated anywhere else. WHOAA, I got news for anyone out there that is interested to know. the Western states have allot to offer.Its just a little bit different than the frozen wilderness but very much the same when it comes to quality of life.<br /><br />you have good people in both situations, who depend on each other not for tangible goods or services but for priceless friendship, security, and happiness. When you are in a small community your efforts are either largely appreciated or are soon to be dealt with. Freedom has its price and in a small community like terlingua, it can be costly or priceless.<br />I think Terlingua has some of the best of people in it and maybe some of the worst. I haven't met anyone yet that I would recommend a mob of vigilantes to hang from the nearest tree.Oh they are out here,but thats oak too because they usually keep to them selves from what I heard. Madonnas material girl might complain alitte if she moved here, but the majority are those who don't value life in comparison with their bank account but rather by the quality of friends they attract, and by how their efforts are appreciated. I just cant get Terlingua out of my mind and that is why I am coming back. yes Alaska was a great land, but Terlingua makes me forget about all that.Maybe one day Ill go back to Alaska for a visit but not any time soon.Marc2009-07-19T22:23:41Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2007/09/21/welcome-to-my-world.aspx#comment-2213289What a wonderful surprise to discover your website!Mary Edith Waddell2009-06-29T09:50:22Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2007/12/02/these-rocks-werent-as-steep-forty-years-ago-touring-mitre-peak-with-a-pro.aspx#comment-2108826Found your blog after doing a search on Mitre Peak. Like your sister Kathy, I too spent several summers at Camp Mitre Peak. Those summers in Fern Canyon were some of the happiest times of my life. I travelled back there again for the first time in 1999. Did exactly the same thing as you did .. talked the caretaker into letting me into the lodge so I could see it again with adult eyes. As I stood in the silent great room, I heard the angel voices of all the girls singing the old camp songs in two part harmonies. I walked up the path to the first pool and took a small stone as a remembrance. The water flowed over the rock into the pool as I guess it has for all these years since I last saw it. Camp Mitre Peak remains a magical memory for me. I would love to share memories sometime with your sister Kathy. I was a camper there in the mid 60's. Who knows, we may have been in the same Mescalero unit ...<br /><br />In an era that was difficult for girls to grow up in, Girl Scout Camp Mitre Peak helped give me confidence and made me feel strong. I was never homesick .. unlke my experiences at Prude Ranch .. and always felt so sad when I had to leave.<br /><br />Thanks again for your post. It brought back many wonderful memories.Brooke2009-05-24T12:00:17Zhttp://blog.lindycseverns.com/2009/04/05/with-leftovers-from-creation.aspx#comment-1963461Your word pictures are every bit as amazing as your art!

I enjoyed reading your Artwalk article. I felt like I was transformed right back there. Yes, it was a magical weekend. What fun meeting a sister of the "sticks"! That is what I lovingly<br />call the pastels. I know there was an instant bond between us. Brian and I enjoyed visiting with Jim, also. What a sweetie. I should have the 2 paintings that I painted in Pinto Canyon up on my webpage by the weekend. You do live in "God's country" and I see ALL the colors in the brown.hehe<br />Take care,<br />Dina Gregorydina gregory2008-11-25T18:29:32Z
