After breakfast, it was time to head to Panther Junction to get my park pass.
The dirve from Chisos basin is very scenic and I needed to take a video of my truck on the road. Well, I do what I always do. I just looked around for someone that I feel could help out. So, I met these 2 guys about to leave and head my same way. I asked them for their help and they said no problem. So, I put my gopro on their windshield and they followed me on the 6 miles trip on the curvy road from Chisos basin. I will have to post that video very soon.
I thanked them for their help after the 6 miles run and we parted ways.
Here is a pic of the guys who helped me. I looked and saw them behind me and saw the mountain and thought that would make a great picture, so I took it.
Off to Panther Junction to get our park pass. I got it for free since I have the annual pass.
Miniature plan of Big Bend State Park
From here, though we had already eaten I had plans to taste a local bbq place that I have read a lot of good things about. Since I am a bbq connoisseur, I decided to stop by and buy the least I could just for a taste. He did not disappoint for being the only bbq place out there. A little greasy, but on task. I gave him a B! Stop by for some bbq for sure. Very friendly owner.
With a full stomach, time to rest. We went to the hotel. Unfortunately, we are too early. So, not until another 3 hours befor ehotel can be ready. We decided to head to Big Bend State Park. And took some few videos along the way and then went a bit off some beaten path.
