Big Bend National Park … the West is Different from the East

Maverick Ranch RV Park — Lajitas, Texas
Temps: Hi 63F (17C) / Lo 36F (2C)

This is our last day in Lajitas.  We move on tomorrow.  We debated doing a couple of hikes off El Camino del Rio, but decided we would be better served taking care of pre-departure chores.  We won’t have a sewer hook-up at our next stop, so laundry was a top priority as well.

We spent the past few days exploring the west side of Big Bend National Park (BBNP).  Very different from the east side … can’t put my finger on why exactly, but Mui and I agree we liked this side of the park more.  Maybe it has something to do with the color of the formations, which reminded us of some of our favorite haunts in Arizona and Utah.

Exploring Texas from Lajitas … A Week Flies By

I know … I need to stop saying that time is flying by … but it is … and that’s a fact.

Hard to believe that it was a week ago that we left our site at the Rio Grande Village RV Park on the east side of Big Bend National Park to continue our explorations further west.  What a send off we had … thanks to wispy clouds, a gorgeous sunrise colored the beginning of our easy travel day.

A glorious sunrise bathes the sky in a pleasing array of colors.
