Big Bend, Texas

We spent yesterday in Big Bend NP touring. The mountains and deserts were beautiful. When we went down to Santa Elena Canyon, we were alongside the Rio Grande River. It is more like a creek in most areas and it is interesting that we could have walked across it into Mexico. We concluded that, as beautiful as Big Bend is, we enjoyed the drive on 170 from Lajitas to Presidio the day before just as much. Now we are on hwy 90 heading north to #10. We stay in or around El Paso tonightand move into New Mexico and a new time zone. Tomorrow we'll be two hours behind the kids. The Strpes in Marfa that we just stopped at for diesel was a very easy in and out and only $3.59 per gal. It is on the west end of the town and last service until we hit 10. It was $3.99 down at Big Bend area. Nice to be on the road again.

We left Llano Grande RV Resort Monday morning and headed west along the Texas/Mexico border. Very interesting drive. Stayed Monday nite at Seminole Canyon SP and arrived here in Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa in the middle of nowhere. Interesting area. Drove to Presidio today thru the mountains on the most beautiful drive ever. Passed a movie set that I have included in our Picasa stream below. Going in to Big Bend NP tomorrow for the day. This is def 'God's Country'.
