Big Bend Trip

[The Phoenician]

Are we doing the state park or national or both?

I have a 20 year Big Bend veteran helping with the planning, even though the NP is not challenging I here the "ranch" has some decent stuff. I'm working on having some harder trails but a locked 100 should still be fine.

Plane are state park and national park

The NP is all about scenery and the changing landscapes. It's awesome to just drive around all day. The SP is scary desolate when traveling alone. I never saw a sole there for two days. Good thing about the SP is you can have camp fires. NP is no go on fires. When I was there the park rangers drove Dodge Rams 4x4's with Goodyear MTRs.

Sorry for the long delay, should be working out the final details today. hope everyone is still interested. Please post up I need to get a head count.

Post up the dates when you have them so I can start rescheduling a few things if I have to. Thanks for setting this up.

Question, is there any planned hiking on this trip? or mainly driving trails & camping?

 

[fl4031003]

The dates are February 19th -22nd. I have a couple of hikes planned. Wanted to get thoughts on group dinner cooks or everyone does their own?

 

[meatloaf]

Group dinner sounds good to me...

Also, if we don't get my son's truck finished by then, how would a stock (rear locked) fj cruiser do? body/under-carriage damage?

thanks fl4031003!

Hmm. Need to check the family calendar. It's going to be cold as hell out there though.

 

[The Phoenician]

Heat packs and a friend. Should keep you from freezing.

Is this a dudes only trip? Not that the wife would want to go but I need to offer it up or tell her no women allowed.
