Big Bend info

“Interesting article on changes at Big Bend and the Mexican border. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune...

Hiking Big Bend

And of course we have the requisite sidebar, that I know soooooooo well as a sometimes writer of travel stories...

If you go”

“It is the most rugged, yet most majestic place I have ever been to. After 12 years of going there, I still haven't seen half of it. It is the only place I go to year after year.

The trips across the border were fun. I will miss that. Lano Falcon ran a hell of a cantina in Boquillas and the food at Paso de Lajitas was superb.

I plan on being there this year when the wild flowers bloom.”

“why not plan a year end trip...look at the calendar...3 vacation days on Dec 29, 30, 31 in conjunction with Jan 2 (1st vaca day in 04)...

gets a stretch of days 9 days off in a row.

I hear BIG BEND callin my name.”

“it gets cold in the Chisos in December, stikmon,,,

we would probably have to stick to the grapevine hills or telephone canyon,,

Mesa de Anguilar would be a possibility,,,,”

“freeze at night and die...thats what I want to do...maybe crazy mike could come and eat us after we are dead. I;m sure he'd like that.,..although, he'd survive alot longer munchin on you, than he would on me.

I've always wanted to BB over the holidays...maybe this is the year...the days are aligned properly for it, what do you say???”

“It would be a possibility. New Years eve at the LaKiva would be a blast.”

“Almost one half inch of rain at Casotolon in the past 24 hours. Precipitation is looking good for the wild flower bloom.”

“i got a big bend

maybe ill use my left hand from now on”
