Big Bend National Park, Big Bend, Texas

Part One! June 18 - 22, 2021 Part One! What a beautiful park!  It stretches from the Chihuahuan Desert along the Rio Grande to the Chisos Mountain Range.  It is 16,000 acres and elevations from 1800 below sea level to 8000 above sea level.  There are mountains, deserts, hiking trails, old ranches and houses to see, and a hot spring. When you are at the Rio Grande River, you can look across and see Mexico.  We saw javelinas, (cows and horses that come across from Mexico to graze), roadrunners, turkey buzzards, bats, bees, butterflies, hares, and possibly a coyote.  The desert is full of color - reds, yellows, greens, browns, pink, and orange.  There was a fossil park where it was once a volcanic area. Everywhere you looked, there was beauty.  I highly recommend everyone visit this park.  It was very hot (117 degrees on two of the days we were there), but it was worth every moment.  We arrived in the afternoon after dry camping the night before...

Decorating of Lallybroch

So, our camper is named Lallybroch. She’s tiny but just right for us. We removed the bedspread and have put in a new mattress, so it's more comfortable.  We’ve put up pictures and placed rugs. Here are pictures of some of the things we've done. It's a work in progress.  I'm in charge of the inside.  Outside belongs to my husband as far as maintenance and tools.
