Big Bend Road Trip - Day 8

Route: Big Bend National Park
Miles Today:
68
Total Miles:
2,175

Today was our last full day in the park, and in the morning the group splits in two. Dad, James and I will be headed back to Pembroke in the morning. We went out to Rio Grande Village for another overlook of the river, but nothing much to report there. The only thing of note was a small display of wire form scorpions that appear to have been put there by Mexicans which were for sale. A jar was placed next to the merchandise and payment was made on the honor system. It seems that the Mexicans cross the river at night and grab the cash. Remember that the river at this point is no more than 20 feet wide and very easy to wade across.

The mountain lion pictures proved to another popular draw up here as Dad showed them to another group of people.

We also got a fellow lodge visitor to snap a group photo of everybody before we leave the park in the morning.


We leave at 8AM tomorrow and began the ride back east.
