For this wonderfully timely visual/prose ride report... as I cleaned the "April Fool's" three inches of snow storm off my porch steps this morning in west-central Illinois and waiting out for the first ride of season... your Big Bend adventure report pumps renewed anticipation for getting started on the rides of 2018!...Great prose/pics!

You bet! We all need inspiration as this endless winter keeps dragging on! I live near ferret and it was a shock coming back to reality! I'm looking forward to warmer, sunnier weather too!
Day 4 - Monday 26 March 2018 - Texas 170 Big Bend State Park

We left Big Bend Motel & RV Park and headed straight west onto TX 170. 170 winds through the town of Terlingua and then passed through the town of Lajitas right on the border of Big Bend State Park. During my search for lodging in the area, I completely missed [url=https://www.lajitasgolfresort.com/default.aspx?pg=accommodations]Lajitas Resort / Badlands Hotel. It looks pretty nice if you're interested in high-end accommodations.

As we exited Lajitas, we entered the park and were quickly entertained by marvelous landscape views and a challenging road to ride. My advice would be to take it easy on this highway, enjoy the scenery but pay close attention to the road. It has a lot of blind hills and curves, and there are areas where gigantic boulders and rocks could fall onto the road in front of you.

I don't have a lot of narration to offer here...the photos speak to the scenes we enjoyed.
