Stone House RemainsBack inside the canyon above Entrance Rapids we found this eroded small 1-room house. There was a bunch of metal stuff sitting/littered around it from days bygone.

Brian's Night PoseBrian's nighttime pose around our Kanuck-inspired fire.

TarantulaOne of the two tarantulas we found on this hike.

Hiking DownThe hike down from our previous vantage point.

Mark and the SentinelThe obligatory I hiked up here to see the Sentinel, so somebody needs to document it shot. With my favorite river brew (well except for that one from Colorado that I can't seem to get imported to Texas, but hey, it has to be canned).

Mouth of Santa ElenaThe mouth of Santa Elena from a similar Texas cliff viewpoint. You can see our camp below near the river.

Sentinel and Arroyo San AntonioThe Sentinel and Arroyo San Antonio from the Texas cliffs above the mouth of Santa Elena. Taken Day 4 (Wed) evening.

Brian and the SentinelThe obligatory I hiked up here to see the Sentinel, so somebody needs to document it shot.

The Sentinel...and the Party Barge arrives in view of the Sentinel.

Self-PortraitA self-portrait at camp above Santa Elena.

Passing False SentinelAnother canyon view as I pass False Sentinel getting ready to enter the long pool to Arroyo San Antonio, seeing the Sentinel, and then getting to the entrance camp above Santa Elena.

Party BargeIt's been a short day, it's early, time for a party barge as we get ready for the showing....

False Sentinel - First SightingOur first view of False Sentinel.

False Sentinel - Second SightingA little closer to False Sentinel, the "Second Sighting", so to speak. I like the double entendre of this being the second sighting, because it's seconded by the mirrored view in the water. I left my boat nose in the picture for perspective.

Madero CanyonCanyon shot below Matadero.

Matadero RapidsThe Pines enter the mouth of Matadero.

Above MataderoDay 4. A shot of the Marlers above Matadero Rapids. It's getting quite dramatic on the canyon walls. We are also well inside Big Bend now.

Near Black Rock CanyonUpriver shot near Black Rock Canyon. Last Day 3 shot.

Richard at ChapelRichard in front of the Bandera movie set we ran into on the river. There was a lot more to this area, but it was all movie props.
