We were in Big Bend after a stay in Marfa several years ago. It was around Thanksgiving. Made a TR as the snow flew at Cottonwood Campground along the Rio Grande.

This venture will be epic. From Carbondelay (©) Illinois to La Rasta Terlingua to Muley Point.

Not for the faint of heart!

No doubt...however I would argue that owners of Avion's have already shown their courage. This trip will just underscore our unquestionable bravery, and will be one for the records. LOL

cheers

“Yeh Mon ....That's what I am talking about, although I have yet to see the waterfalls ;-0”

Rasta, Pine Canyon on the east side of the Chisos always has a waterfall - and pines.
And in BB State Park, Madrid Falls is a magical oasis, with columbine and hummingbirds!
Good day trips for the April meet-up!

That’s what I like! Long range planning!

Howdy!
So who’s going to be entering the November chili cook-off in Terlingua? We are feasting at Kreuz’s in Lockhardt. Big Bend tomorrow! I do have one fear, if this fiasco does go off, multiple Avions in one place, at one time, may make something akin to nuclear chain reaction take place. We are likely never to be allowed to quit answering, “Where did y’all buy these Airstreams from”?

Cajunavion, you are absolutely correct. Perhaps we need to appoint a spokesperson who can make an announcement whenever crowds appear, as they inevitably will. If we don't get a firm structure in place I can imagine a mass melt down at Muley Point....like the Day of the Locust.

Perhaps a handout with before and after photos and referrals to eBay and Craigslist...

All good ideas fellows, however I really do think we need to charge a fee.
We could have several teirs. Basic would be to just look, next level would be to touch and pet. Then the preium would be to actually enter the interior and have their picture taken.

Well Rasta, seeing that you’re towing people may ask for a discount.

On the contary my friend, the blantant display of the Avions flexability and unique arrangement will put it in a class by itself. However I am coming prepared with wrist bands and gold colored rope and poles so I can have a restricted area roped off to facilitate crown control.
