Cj et al,

Re: McBeast return trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park

This was our longest stay in one location, and we expected to go through more water since we had three people on the trip.

We had filled the 20 gal water storage tank, and we carried a 5 gallon...

Re: McBeast return trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park

We continue to work with systems and equipment for our SMB....

Re: McBeast return trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park

The Rincon 2 area, and maybe that whole area of the park is a geologist's heaven. The view is not as fantastic as we saw at Guale 2 and Choro Vista, but the geologic variety is amazing. This is...

Re: McBeast return trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park

Arriving on the first weekend of spring break we expected to beat most folks to this remote area, and that seemed to be the case. We only saw two vehicles on the road from the park entrance to the...

Re: McBeast return trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park

CJ,
