We managed to get in one more short walk between thunderstorms, but mostly we decided to drive around the area.
 |
| We knew the road went through Nada Tunnel, but what we didn't know was that it was just barely large enough to get a vehicle through it. According to Wikipedia, the tunnel is only 12 feet wide and 13 feet high. We thought our rear-view mirrors were going to touch the sides! |
 |
| Wikipedia says that the tunnel is 900 feet long. All I can say is that it was a challenge to drive a full-size pickup truck through it. |
 |
| A pedestrian suspension bridge crosses the Red River. |
 |
| Another look at the suspension bridge. |
 |
| Overlook along the road to Sky Bridge. The rain showers were creating fog in many places. |
 |
| When we got back to our campsite, we found our tent sitting in about a 1/2 inch of water. We seemed to have found the only campsite that didn't drain. |
 |
| Rather than sleep in a half-inch of water (with more storms on the way), we decamped to a hotel for the night! |
