We woke up the next morning and fired up the skottles, wandered around Tres Papalotes, took pictures and had a leisurely morning.

Anyone that does not love a 100 has not had one. Best LC ever. I've had them all (except 200) Mine is a 98. I think it's the best year. Minimal electrical BS.

Get Stark 9004/9005 bulbs from Amazon. $45 a Set. Plug in and go. Remarkable difference.

Only 4 of the 7 of us had ever been to the State Park Ranch before so we repeated our campsite from last year, Tres Papalotes. From the HQ camp is over an hour east so we grabbed up our lone non-100 series Land Cruiser driver and his nasty electric blue 1st gen Tundra and took off for camp...

We turned into the state park via a terrible rough shortcut road 4 miles shy of Ft Leighton called Bofecillos Rd. This shaves off a few minutes getting to the main road into the State Park. I may or may not have just used this as a prop for a picture when we exited the road into the park...

So we were running a bit behind schedule at this point so after a quick stop in Terlingua we dropped the hammer up FM170 to the park. FM170 is one of the most beautiful drives in the United States. It passes along two incredible canyons cut by the Rio Grande. It's hard to not stop every...

I took 10 gallons and never used it. I filled up in Lajitas and then coasted into Presido with a gallon left in the tank. I kept my truck parked the first morning for Uranium Mine and The Road to Nowhere so that is why. I could have hit every trail in the park with that extra 10 gallons I am...

Thanks! I'll continue the main part of the trip tomorrow. 235/85/16 BFGs KO2 Stock is 215 I've got a few thousand miles in this setup and they rubbed a bit on this trip early when I was hammering down Glenn Springs road with a load of green firewood.

Santa Elena Canyon is superb. We took our time and hiked all of the way to the end of the canyon and marveled at the power of the water that carved it and the massive boulders that have fallen from the canyon walls. Bomar showed off a bit for us....... We took off about an hour behind...

The Chisos Mountains are some of my favorite in the US. The way they rise out of the Texas desert just gets me every time. This is my 7th trip to Big Bend over 29 years. My first trip was in 1988 with a canoe trip through Santa Elena Canyon. Every other time I had spent plenty of time in the...

The next morning Ron got us up with the first glimmers of sunlight in the east. I got a little free photography school as the sun painted its way into Friday in Big Bend We fired up the Skottle and had a meat-fest with bacon, sausage and eggs while the sunrise did its thing @bomar 's truck...

I knew we would not beat the sun but I wanted to have a little light left when we got to camp so we caught up over the radio and dropped the hammer for Pine Canyon Elephant Tusk is one of my favorite mountains in Big Bend and watching this magic happen around it was awesome Dust was thick...

I checked in at Persimmon Gap and peeled out for Rio Grande Village to see Matt and his new baby. I met this guy on the road first As you can see, I am a huge fan of bridges. This one is beautiful with Boquillas Canyon in the background This is where Old Ore road dumps out and I love...

Last year a group of us went to Big Bend National Park for MLK weekend and did a single day in the State Park Ranch. After getting a taste of the State Park we knew we had to get back and see more of this remote park that borders the north end of Big Bend National Park. Here is our trip report...

I do my Expo stuff in my 100 series with a tiny M416 trailer. It really opens up my truck for people and stuff I want to keep clean and dry I daily drive a TRD Pro and absolutely love it in stock form. I know they are not the most powerful vehicles in the world and the chassis itself is...

Awesome. Top of my list.......

I will gladly share routes if anyone wants to get out and explore Misssissippi.

Our final stop was Prospect Hill Plantation. This place is 8 miles east of Lorman off Red Lick Road. The road going in there was pretty nasty but we made it fine. This place is being saved by the Archaeology Society from falling in with a new roof and protection on the sides. Last year when...

The next day we headed back up the Natchez Trace and stopped off at Emerald Mound, the second largest Indian Mound in the US. From there, we stayed to the west of the Trace and drove through Church Hill to check out the old country store and the Chapel.

The following day it rained like crazy but we just hung around town and toured a couple of the mansions. Stanton House and Longwood. Both awesome examples of filthy rich cotton planters in the mid 1800's. Nearly 1/2 of all the nations millionaires resided in Natchez Mississippi in 1850...
