Big Bend National Park

"I’d rather be broke down and lost in the wilds of Big Bend, any day, than wake up some morning in a penthouse suite high above the megalomania of Dallas or Houston."  - Ed Abbey

Cold Splinters and Upstate are gearing up for a southern adventure down to Big Bend National Park towards the beginning of next month. It's an area we've never experienced, so if you're lucky enough to have spent a night or two in that "barren, sun-blasted, apparently lifeless, stone-bleak ocean of the Chihuahuan Desert," drop me a line. Let me know where we should go (backcountry hot springs, please), and more importantly, where we shouldn't.MP3: Smog - Too Many Birds
