Having accomplished my goal of the Hueco portion of the trip, I felt very relaxed for the next week of our trip.  Climbing as much as possible became my goal for the remaining twelve days.  We had more luck getting into the park this year, and spent almost no time waiting at the gate (a situation with which we became very familiar in 2006).  It was nice to run around in the desert and climb and laugh with friends.  I was again reminded of how amazing it is to be in Hueco, in the middle of nowhere west Texas, climbing on a giant pile of rocks.  I left Texas very satisfied with my decision to include Hueco in the trip.
