If you've never been to the Big Bend in West Texas then you're just flat missing out! Here are a few photos of a three day camping trip I went on last weekend with my Uncle Kirby.

Camp Kirby!
Hot Spring on the Rio Grande
(fresh water flowing at 250k gallons a day with a temp of 105 deg)
Me, Kirby, and Bandit chillin in the Rio Grande
Big Bend has it all, including tunnels
Ruins along the Rio
Another shot of the ruins
Me and Kirby in a dried up creek canal.
Yes that is thick overgrown bamboo!
Abandoned Mariscal Mine on the desert floor

As you can see, Big Bend Natl Park has it all! These photos don't even cover the main attraction, the Chisos Mtn Basin. The Chisos Basin is extremely beautiful but a little crowded with tourist so we explored the roads less traveled. If you really want to see some beautiful country you need to take the time to go to Big Bend National Park.
Thanks again Kirby for inviting me on this trip, you make one heck of a Trail Boss! I'll ride with you any time.
- Mr.
