Chisos Basin

A cool night and a great sleep. There is nothing like time in the mountains; awake or asleep. We are very excited to start our week in west Texas and move on down to the Rio Grande River. With no reservations for Monday night, it's anyone's guess where we will end up. Our goal is to stay in Big Bend National Park, bordering Mexico.

After a couple hours on the road, we provisioned for a week of remote camping in the town of Ft. Davis. Then we drove another couple of hours to the park. Lo and behold, all four campgrounds in Big Bend had space available. We've been pretty lucky with our camping risk taking.

We decided to go with highest altitude and most remote camping in the Chisos Basin. We're fully off the grid and dependent on our solar panels for refrigeration. This will be the test. Not sure how much posting I'll be doing this week with scare connectivity, but I'll have my offline posts for later uploads. It's good to have the hiking boots back on these feet.
