Well, some college buddies and I just got back from our 2nd annual run down to Big Bend. The weather was very nice this year and we caught a lot of the park in bloom and greener than usual. This year we had my 1985 FJ60, a 1975 FJ40, and a 1985 J**p CJ-7. I also brought along my newly-restored M101 Canadian with the Mombasa tent mod that I recently completed. It worked out great. This trailer can haul tons of water and gasoline and never look back. Truly perfect for a long haul where there are no gas stations nearby and when you want to get the weight out of the vehicle.

The pics include a campsite on the River Road (Loop Camp 1) at the Rio Grande, Santa Elena Canyon, The Starlight Theatre in Terlingua (GREAT hospitality, GREAT food, and GREAT beer), and quite a few other scenic spots. I think I have fallen in love with Terlingua. This town is one of the strangest and coolest places I have seen in a while.

Enjoy the pics. Pic 1 is the M101 loaded up, Pic 2 is the Gravel Pit Road at the Rio Grande, and Pic 3 is the River Road just past Mariscal Mountain.

The pics look great! We were there over spring break. Did you do black gap road and old ore road? We stayed at Johnsons ranch camp site and elephant tusk. I am definetly going back!

We did Black Gap and Old Ore back in 2004. Those are some awesome trails; Black Gap is the most fun one in the park in my opinion.

I can't wait to get back over there. We are already talking about the 2008 run.
 
Killer looking trip man!

Glad to see the trailer out and about!
