[Meraki Hammocks]

I got a site for Tuesday the 27th. It is site 59. I may not get there till 10pm but I do have site to sleep in.

MannyG20, I would gladly trade sites. 59 is a great site. You will enjoy the sunrise.

Meet up at Big Bend National Park on December 27th, 28th and 29th? Basecamp will be the Chisos Basin Campground.

I was just searching big bend for any hints or tips and found this thread. I'm heading down on the 26th. I'm camping right outside of the park on the west side so I'm near the basin campground.

New to bronco ownership and late to this forum. Would love to join this big bend meet up. But can’t find a site in either Chisos or Rio grande.
Any suggestions?

airbnb has some camp areas or tents right outside the park. I just booked a place called Mel's place. I've got a set up in my bronco to sleep so I'm just sleeping in the truck.

I just read on the big bend Instagram page that after the flooding there are some new things to see at the hot springs area.

I know we will mainly be in our Broncos, but if there is time and anyone has the inclination I would love to hime the Mariscal Trail. It is off the River road and give spectacular views.

The Marriott in Midland is a good campground. Be safe on the road.

Wish I could join you all. Recovering from foot surgery, so basically grounded.

I am just the opposite. I will show up with the clothes on my back and a couple of protein bars and then spend the entire trip thinking of things I wished I had brought. My wife is the detail person of the family.

First morning breakfast after camping at the Marriott in Odessa. Camping isn’t bad so far.

We will need to meet up another time for some BBQ. I use a 4 drawer file cabinet to smoke brisket.
