We had been planning to spend a week or two more in New Mexico, visiting White Sands, Roswell, and Carlsbad, but when we inventoried all the places we wanted to visit in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida we realized that we didn’t have enough time to visit everything. So we decided to skip the rest of our New Mexico destinations and start driving towards Big Bend National Park (in Texas) today. Right now we are spending the night at a Walmart outside El Paso, Texas, and tomorrow we are doing the long drive to Big Bend.
There is no cell phone service in Big Bend, so we will be out of pocket for a few days at least. There is allegedly wifi at the store at the Big Bend campground, so we may have intermittent email contact.
It has been a little while since I logged on to your blog, since before Halloween anyway. It seems like big and little kid have both grown since I last visited! The pictures are wonderful, and the Halloween costumes were really great. Good luck avoiding the cold…it looks like it is cold everywhere in the United States except where I live. Come on over!
Big Bend…Beautiful!
We have a friend in Waco Texas if you need a place to camp with a shower etc.
