Well, it's about that time again...time for my annual trek to Big Bend for my alone time with God and celebration of my recovery! This year marks 20 years, and so I have a special celebration planned.
I will be leaving Tulsa at noon on December 10 and going as far south as possible, perhaps all the way to BiBe, even though that may mean camping after midnight. We'll see. I may stop at Fort Stockton again, but I would like to get an early start on Friday.
Friday will be a hike to the South Rim. I'm thinking of staying at SE 2 campsite for ease of access to the Rim and to lower the miles needed to get there. I would like to spend Friday exploring the Rim, Emory Peak and perhaps Toll Mountain.
Saturday would be more South Rim adventures, then a trip back to the Basin and the vehicle to travel to Mule Ears outlook. From there I plan to go to the Upper Smoky Creek zone and spend Saturday night.
Sunday would be more Upper Smoky Creek, then that afternoon to a cabin I'v rented in Terlingua Ranch. The next three days are more solitude and work on my next inventory.
I may try to do Rancherias Canyon in Big Bend Ranch, but I'll wait to see how I feel on Monday before committing to this.
I am getting very excited about the prospects...just 29 days to go.
