When we were in the Big Bend Area we stayed at Maverick Ranch RV Park, a Passport America park which was half-price. It is associated with Lajitas Resort, of which I think this ranch house hosts maybe one of the managers. It is not part of the RV Park.
Near the entrance of the r v park was this old cemetery. I have selected a few photos because it was so unique from the cemeteries of which I have visited. These were one of a very few headstones.
I loved the old iron fences & crosses in this cemetery.
Evidently people come from all over the world to this resort. They have trail rides which include dinner cooked on a campfire for the guests/
This is part of the resort.
From Lajitas, we drove 100 miles to Presidio, Texas and back. The road travels alongside the Rio Grande River. It is more beautiful than Big Bend, in my opinion.
This road is certainly not like any interstate or any recent state route. It had steep down & up hills.
There was a movie company who shot the movie, "The Streets of Laredo", here beside the Rio Grande. They built several buildings for the movie so decided to stop and go through several of them. The Saloon was the only one with internal rooms.
This was the Saloon.
Jim is in front of the Chapel.
This was an interesting outcropping.
These Indian teepees was a rest stop.
This was one of the steep inclines.
I loved your pictures.
