How big is your dog? Wouldnt want your trip ruined by letting Fido run along and ending up a meal for one of the local inhabitants(coyote).

Well, I suppose you and your dog are out on your walk-about by the timetable at the beginning of this post. I hope you are enjoying yourself and you will have to let us know all the details. I love it when out-of-staters find out what Texas is all about. Hopefully if you were around the Big Bend/Davis Mtns you didn't run into any mountain lions.

Hi guys.....wandered Big Bend...overwhelmingly beautiful....explored part of Terlingua Creek ...found petrified wood, agate and cinnabar...had terrific chili rellenos at a tiny "Mex" cafe there ....everybody I met has been very friendly, including the Border Patrol, which has a strong presence from Uvalde west ....I LOVED Alpine!! What a sweet town! Coming in from the south, the town sits like a jewel in the valley below. The old Holland Hotel there is a treasure, and the young lady at the desk invited Ginger (dog) in for cookies, and set me up with my computer in a front room, and offered coffee and other drinks. She readily responded to my questions about Sul Ross University and the town itself. The hotel lobby is beautiful and inviting. I met people in Fort Davis and another town north of there. There is endless character and beauty in west TX. ....more later...

Even though I dated a genuine sweetheart - bright and beautiful - from Texarkana in the mid-60s, and have fond memories, I headed west almost immediately upon entering TX.
I had a schedule to follow, if I were to meet up with an old friend (also from the 60s) who was driving south from Colorado. But, I shall return!!!

X2 Check out the Garner State Park area. Two hours west of San Antonio. Concan, Leakey, Vanderpool, Utopia. Several beautiful rivers. Frio, Sabinal, Medina, Clear clean and lots of running water. Big Bend is beautiful but a hell of a long drive to get there and it is desert country. Grab a chair and sit out in the rapids or hike and climb. Nice climate and easy access to civilization if needed.
