It seemed like a short drive from Fort Davis to Big Bend. Wrong. The road is so twisty through the mountains that it adds many extra miles. Before we entered Big Bend National Park we stopped in Alpine to load up on water, gas, and food. We hit the road, fully loaded, for Chisos Basin Campground. The drive was long and dusty. At the campsite, it had a bear box to prevent bears from taking food. Yup, there's bears and mountain lions here. Each mountain lion kills one deer per week. We had four deer meander through our campsite. We are no longer thrilled about deer roaming near us if they are luring mountain lions. Good thing Sid was inside.
Loving the hat Alvie.
