So I assume you meant you are going 290 to I 10 then and not I 20?

You are correct, sir. But it does intersect I 10.

Duncan: Without looking at a map I can't be sure: but I don't think 290 ever intersects I 20. So I would like to know how you get to I 20 via 290? Enlighten me in my ignorance. By the way: My first trip to Big Bend was 1957 and have been many times since.

Ronnie: will you take Hwy 290 or I 10 to get to Big Bend? I will take Hwy 290 to I 20. Just curious to see if we should try coordinating a meet up and cruise together? Maybe in Austin or Junction?

    Cool. Junction seems about right for a split drive (time-wise)
    from Austin.

    I am planning on it.  I camped along the way going down and coming
    back.  12 hours of driving a bus is tough on my old butt.

    Good plan.  I went to Rio Grande Village in the Spring after the
    classic.  Very few people around.  The road going to the Gravel
    Pit camping and La Clocha are fair.  Past there the roads are
    pretty tough (I was in my son's 4x4.  We drove Glenn Springs Road
    and needed it).  I camped at the Chisos lodge campground.  Very
    cool drive into the lodge, FIRST GEAR going up the lodge and I
    wondered if that was enough a few times.

    Okay, seems we have interest in Big Bend this year. The challenge
    is cruising together. Not going to happen. !!!!

    There is a shorter, 10 hour route for the DFW crew rather than
    driving via Austin.

    The general concensus is to leave on 12/26.

    Due to the challenge of coordinating a cruise, I propose:  We meet
     at Rio Grande Campground on Thursday, 12/27. Sites are not
    reserverable this time of year so we should have no problem. Note
    there are no hookups here, or anywhere in the park. Que paso? NO
    HOOKUPS ANYWHERE IN THE PARK.

    On Wednesday we can decide as a group to move to another location
    either up the mountain or deeper into the Big Bend or not.

    Alternative ideas or suggestions? Bark now rather than later.

    Please, someone post on facebook.

    Duncan
