Big Bend National Park is a gem thanks FDR. Wish I had my motorcycle for the ride from Lajitas to Presidio along the Rio Grande it would be great on two wheels although west Texas from there to anywhere is pretty remote and menotonous to drive. Spent a night in Van Horn which is a strip of motels and although Mr. AMazon is buildiing rockets there it has not added much to the city. Today we hiked 5 miles through White Sands National Park another very unique site like few others on earth.

Thoughts go out to those in Houston and area that were hit by tornadoes a couple days ago. We had concidered heading down to Corpus Christi area for a week however who wants to spend time on a beach when the temperatures were predicted to be cool and cloudy/foggy as it was when we were on Galvestin beach for a day.
