Hey Larry. We will see you there. We are staying at the Chisos Mining Co in the motor lodge section.Hi Bill, I'm new to this group but looking for a place to throw a small tent. Bringing down dirt bike in small truck, so won't take up much room.
Also was thinking about going down a day or two early to get lay of land, if you don't mind early company.

Russell and I are leaving Glen Rose at 0800 tomorrow. Planning to spend one night on the road but should be there in time for this ride. Please stop by Coyote Crossing and gather us up Wed am if we haven't found you first. Look for white chevy with truck camper and white enclosed trailer. Thanks. I'm pretty stoked.Thursday 11 AM...Basic Intro Ride / Mextrek Amigos
For Big Bend first time riders, and folks considering a Mextrek adventure who want to meet the "gang", our little Amigos group usually do a very moderately paced up and back on South County / North County Road through the private Terlingua Ranch to visit my property. And I want to check out Vogl's 10 acres for sale at Top of the World as well, so we'll see a bunch of the nicer parts of the ranch west of 118. Total distance under 60 miles. Pace, group determined.
Probably a late morning departure from Posado Milagro after a long fun breakfast, 11 am or so, back at the welcome dinner at 3 or 4pm with plenty of time to enjoy hanging out for the afternoon and evening.
Important note: Terlingua Ranch is private property. Most residents are understanding, others have shotguns, many have pens and like to write letters.

I'm having technical difficulties with the website. I sent you a PM with instructions on how to purchase the guide.Can't make this rally but interested in that BB guide however when I click on the link or even type the website directly it takes me to a Godaddy landing page.

Oh. Thursday, 1100. We'll definitely be around then.

Does anyone have a gpx file available for "Top of the World" they could share?
Well, Jeff, this sounds good. There's a few planning trips to Pinto Canyon at least. It'd be nice to join you for lunch at minimum. I'll have to figure out where I'm gonna go on Thu/Fri/Sat, with whom and when.That Pinto Canyon, Casa Piedra loop looks fun - so I'm going to plan to do it Saturday. Trick is, I'll be starting up north in Alpine. My plan is to be in Marfa around 10:30 am or so. From there, I'll probably go down Pinto, then to Presidio for late lunch, then Casa Piedra to Paisano for a beverage. If that coincides with anyone doing the loop from the south, I'll tag along.
Is anyone else going to be staying up North: Alpine, Marfa, Ft Davis or Marathon?
On Sunday, I'll start early and will be going back to Austin the fun way for anyone not in a hurry to get home: Bracketville, Camp Wood, Vanderpool, ...
Help! Should I bring my KTM 790 or KTM 500? The 790 is pretty off-road capable, and I am an experienced Dual Sporter and Off-Roader.
I've been to BBNP three times on my XT and loved it. It's the perfect bike for me in the national park. If you plan to do any highway riding, those long rolling hills will be disappointingly slow.debating on bringing my light, modded XT... it's just so much fun...haven't been to big bend so don't know whether it would be worth bringing or just staying with the DRZ only...
plenty of dirt experience, just never been to big bend.
any advice from those who have?
