We traveled to southwest Texas to visit Big Bend National Park. We took our rv and dirt bikes. Our first night in Texas, outside of Lubbuck:
From Amarillo to Study Butte, our destination, there were endless oil rigs and the smell of oil in the air.
Taco stands, blowing dust, corroded buildings, picnic areas where no one would picnic.
Big Bend was beautiful but hot. Miles of road to ride our dirt bikes. Interesting places to hike. A couple miles from our campground was an interesting site with many petroglyphs and pictographs. Met an archeologist who has worked for the park service since the 70s and followed along as he was training newer park personnel. All about fertility and puberty.
