I did a hunting trip with my now ex-brother in law northeast of Candelaria, near Capote Falls. Basically go to Candelaria, turn right, put it in 4 wheel drive, and drive several hours on sand and rock roads. Only game I saw was a flight of teal that must have been very lost.
It was just weird terrain..purple rocks.
Lot's of folks oooh and aaah over Big Bend so I guess I'll go see. Planning an over night stop, or 2, at Seminole Canyon.
I may pass on my annual trip to Tulsa in mid January for the Chili Bowl midget races. I've come home with a bad sinus infection the last 2 years. Can't imagine why...hours of watching midgets burning methanol in an indoor arena.
That opens my schedule up a bit. So Big Bend and maybe a Woodcock hunt in east Texas.
I'll take the Bigfoot so I'm thinking Chisos Basin and Cottonwood NPS campgrounds. Take my bicycle, hiking boots, and a 1911.
Yeah I'll check out the history. I'm staying on as Vice Chair of the County Historical Commission after promising myself I wouldn't. Yep I'm a history nut.
