Not only is there a Big Bend National Park, there is a Big Bend State Park that runs along the Rio Grande River on one edge. We drove thru there this morning.
We stopped at several places to see the river and the mountainsides. One stop we saw several canoeing down the Rio Grande. The River was much smaller than expected. The road, as you can see in these pictures is very hilly and curvy. Certainly couldn’t drive the RV up here.
Some of the places we stopped were interesting (teepee picnic tables) and amazing views.
After visiting the state park, we ate lunch at a food truck called Rustic Iron BBQ. It doesn’t look like much but was rated in the top 10 restaurants in Texas. We tried it and it stood up to its high rating. We ate at some picnic tables outside and was quite chilly and windy that day. It was delicious.
After lunch, several of our friends hiked up the mountain behind our RVs, but we stayed at our RV and relaxed a bit, Later that evening, all our friends stopped by and we had crack chicken sandwiches. We had a good time talking together. Then it was getting time for bed. We are enjoying this time together with our friends.
