Default Big Bend Trip

Carol and I are thinking of going to south west Texas after the 1st of the year.

www.Chinatihotsprings.com might be a good place to spend a few days.

Any one been there? I here it is good but bring your own food. Maybe,, a few nights at Big Bend Ranch as well.

Anyone interested in going? Let me here from you.

Default BB Trip

Jay:

Becky and I are talking this trip over. We're going to fly from Georgia out to Ft. Worth, (Hicks) to visit my son again before Christmas, then to Austin to visit my daughters for Christmas. We just might take off early and spend a few days in The Big Bend Area. Sounds like fun. Stay in touch.

Hi Jay,

Let us know which days you might be at BBRSP. Janie and I are always looking for an excuse to go there.

Cheers,

Ever seen pictures of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindberg headed to the Orient - all bundled up in furs and leather...? Yeah, that's where I learned to fly, in an open-door J-3!
