After Columbus, New Mexico we continued east and entered west Texas at El Paso, on down the road we spent the first night at Davis Mountains State Park Campground, Fort Davis, Texas. In the morning we drove Skyline Drive and saw an old CCC project.
Next up, the small town of Marfa, and lucky us - the DQ was open!
After finishing off our Blizzards, we headed for Big Bend Ranch State Park.
Our campsite for the night was fifty feet from the Rio Grande River (border between US & Mexico).
Next, Big Bend National Park - where we got one of the last five campsites in the entire park. Did a nice canyon hike, although it was a tab warm (95) - not bad in the shade, but in the sun it was hot!
The next day, shortly after leaving Big Bend we stoped in Langtry, TX - the little town where Judge Roy Bean, the "Law West of the Pecos", had his saloon and practiced law.
Then we crossed the Pecos River and the west Texas portion of our journey ends.
Logging you in...

My partner and I have been building out our own Promaster over the last year and we hope to be following your lead soon. Our van is a bit smaller, a little shorter. Might be a little, er... cozier. :-) We really like, though, what you did with yours. It looks so warm and inviting! (So many of the pro builds seem sterile and gray.)
And I'm inspired! Nice to know two guys can get around as well as you both have. We usually just do our own thing when we travel and of course, we find lovely people everywhere and have a great time. All the same, you might be a tad braver than we are. :-)
Cheers! And I'll be following your travels more closely from now on.
