Big Bend Backpacking Trip

New Years, 2008-2009

Amanda and Travis, Alan and Christy

Mule Ears, Smokey Creek and an old trail back to the road.

Amanda and Christy after a quick break for water.

One of the pour-offs, the water disapeared a few hundred feed downstream from here.

Alan and I contemplating where the hell we are..

One of the kairns along the old trail, they were hit and miss, but helpful.

Once we finally reached the stash of water that Alan and Christi hiked out for us, Alan busted out some libations to get new years eve started. Quite a nice treat in the backcountry!

Another oddity, cell coverage in the middle of nowhere!!! (We had to check on the baby!)

Great campsite, 360 degrees of great views.
We only carried out the shell of the tent, it worked well, just needed more windows for the views.
