Well, it's that time of year again. I feel the call of the Chisos Mountains to go back to the desert. Brett Naquin (Brettinsanantonio) and I (Tin Star) are putting together a multi-chapter run to the Big Bend area. Members from LSLC DFW, LSLC Austin, Alamo City Cruisers, Texas Land Cruiser Club- Houston, and TTR are invited to attend.
The trip is scheduled for February 21st-25th, 2008. We will spend a couple of days traveling the roads of Terlingua Ranch and Solatario, visiting the Terlingua Ghost town (and starlight theater) as well as a day or two in the Big Bend National Park. If you have never been, ask someone who has....you will not be disappointed. It will be a great trip for anyone who wishes to attend.
We plan on doing mostly expedition style wheeling, with a little creek bed exploration for a little more challenging run if people would like. I have never been when I did not see lots of wildlife and interesting landscapes.
We are tentatively planning on using my adobe house as a "base of operations" and gathering point to heading off into the wilderness. Space inside the house is limited, but there are plenty of places nearby to pitch a tent with amazing views. The adobe house is available for use for all the amenities of home (toilets, running water, etc.) for those camping nearby. For those that would like a little more comfort, you can make accommodations at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge where they have cabins available for rent, along with a restaurant and gift shop. It is not far from the adobe and we can all meet up prior to our daily excursions.
