My wife and kids and I just got back from a five day backcountry camp at Big Bend. I have been to 28 states and lived in Alaska, however, I have never been to such a wondrous place. The landscape is so diverse, I can't believe it took me (a native Texan) 29 years to finally get here! If you have never been to Big Bend, you must go! It cannot be described in words or appreciated in the best of photographs, it must be experienced. If you are from Texas, you cannot achieve true Texanhood until you make a pilgrimage to Big Bend, and meet Willie Nelson, of course.
