Jude and I drove down late Thursday night (8/1) and spent Friday through Monday crossing over to Boquillas for breakfast, hiking the national park and exploring the areas around our property. One cool thing is we saw a herd of 20 Aoudad crossing over the mesas behind our building. A quick rain deluge on Sunday tested the 4runner 4WD and kept us from a late morning departure. By 2:00 the bentonite clay was mostly dried out. Another great trip. Next trip I will try to get some work done!
In 2021 my wife Jude and I (Erik) purchased 43 acres of Chihuahuan desert property in Terlingua, Texas close to Big Bend National Park. The land is entirely off grid, isolated, and amazing. Our goal is to build our own self sufficient home with solar and rain water catchment so we can move here full time.
