The morning was misty and the ground was wet so we thought we were rained out. I suggested walking to one of the crags to check the actual condition of the rock. Low and behold, we almost missed out on a great day of climbing.

After we scrambled down the scree field at the end of our climbing day, we decided to drop our gear off in our room, then walk the 30 minutes to town for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner advertised at El Búho Café. (Okay, we were really going for the pie.) As we passed through the gate leaving EPC, it started to rain. (So much for pie.) Another stop at Leo’s for the best cooked meat in Hidalgo was the revised option and it was even better than the first visit. (He added lamb for the holiday.)

Arrived at Rancho El Sandero. So excited to get out and climb tomorrow.

Hadn’t worked up an appetite for the all-you-can-eat dinner at Leo’s but it was still worth it. The chicken and pork were super tender and juicy.
