Our daughter, Karen Duban, went with me to Big Bend National Park, for a week in May of 2010. She wanted to climb the Lost Mine Trail which goes up 1,200 feet over several miles of a rocky steep trail. I was carrying too many cameras and binoculars and pooped out about half way up. I found a shady spot to sit down and wait for her while she went on up to the top of Lost Mine Peak. I got this shot of her as she was coming back down and as you can see, she was very proud of herself.
