    Big Bend National Park and Ranch State Park - January 2016

    We hit pavement and turned south to Boquillas Canyon Overlook. This section of asphalt is so beautiful and being able to check out the canyon from above the Rio Grande introduces the newcomers to the river and gives them a close view of Mexico. The Mexicans from the town of Boquillas...

    Hanging two hammocks from custom truck mounts, help me think this design through!
