But DW and family called him back...


South Rim of the Chisos mountains in Big Bend, 7375' to the bottom.


"The Window to the World"


Casa Grande



If I'm good, when I die this will be around the Bend.


One more picture from the edge.

Four days, three nights, twelve hour drive there, another twelve coming back, 601 pictures, and a soul lost to the mountains.

D@mn, Blast, that is some country.

Thanks for the pics. It tells me again that there are magnificent, breathtaking, sacred places in the world to be seen and walked. I want to walk them all. Though I know I never will.

More to the point, it reminds me that there are reasons to live, every day. There is always a spur of a trail that calls me onward, that must be explored; just trust, and keep walking. One foot in front of the other.

Nice Blast, real nice you lucky... (Be nice Blitz this is a family forum,) I am now officially jealous. wink

My darling GF wouldn't have called me back, I can picture her saying "just a couple more steps back, you're not centered, the light isn't right…" etc.

Great pics by the way, well done my friend. So when are you flying all of us down there?

Wanting to be your new best friend,

Blitz

I don't live in Texas anymore but I am pure Texan born in Dallas, and I have to agree with your "If I'm good, when I die this will be around the Bend." Big Bend is one of my favorite places in the world. thanks for the pictures
