Hi,
Reading and writing in that thread about National Parks made me realize how badly I need a vacation. So me and the boys decided on Big Bend National Park. We're going next month.
Can anyone who has been there give me some info on the place? Good dayhikes or paddles would be of great interest but I also would love to hear of a reasonably priced hotel/motel in the area.
And a favor to ask - a longshot, but I may as well try - I cant find a Trails Illustrated map of the property anywhere. No bookstore carries Big Bend (it's one of the least visited parks) and the ship time from Amazon or REI is 4-6 weeks, so if anyone has this map, I'd be very happy to buy it from you. Send me an email on that and we can swap addresses.
thanks,
bob
