US Southwest Big Bend - Spring 2023

[DosTacos]

Hey Rex, teardrop is fine. I've had a 32' camper out there. I'm just thinking that with this many rigs plus a handful of trailers, we may need to spread out a little more than we have in the past. I believe NotYoTaco will have his turtleback trailer as well. As far as I know, those will be the 3trailers we'll have so should be fine.

I'll have my M1101 trailer with a rooftop tent on it if there is room. It's about the size of a turtleback , if it's to much I can leave it home.

Bring it I'm familiar with them and we should have room

Awesome, thanks ...

How long is your camper? The should be plenty of room but I want to plan accordingly.

Jon, this got me thinking. I’m bringing my teardrop to camp in. I’ve assumed that size wasn’t an issue.

How bad was the rain?

Got an alert from BBNP most of the river area was flooded and even the Boquillas Crossing was closed.

That really depends on who you ask.

Given thread title and dates of trip, is it not obvious I am asking anyone who was there this past weekend?

I didnt think it was too bad but I was in my trailer and wasn't one of the ones caught in the flash flooding. (Everyone's ok)

Thanks for the reports.

Heading down later this week and hoping roads are re-opened.

 

[Sparksalot]

More fun from Black Gap. In the dark. And rain. That's @MIL-GUAC being recovered.

 

[ICY-TRD]

That Black Gap patch needs to be in gold after the night we went through it! Lol

Add a crown to it. Along with a scepter and orb.

Back home. River Road and Maverick were still closed, but river levels were normal. Most roads showed sign of huge washes across them, but were cleaned up. While I stayed in BBNP, I mostly explored Ranch Road 170 (Big Bend State Park) and Black Gap WMA. Some Pix.
