A few of us talked about this on the PINS trip and wanted to put together a Big Bend trip in November. Im tossing around the week of November 7th. Taking a poll to see how much interest there is. It sould be a little cooler in November for those who wish to camp. Anyone interested?

It'll be down right friking cold at night.... We'll probably be in

wow, think it'll be that cold? I know swamprat said it was 110 during the day when he went in April. Never been but they say November is the best time to go.

Oh it is. High 80's to low 90's during the day and mid to high 40's at night. Take jackets.

Perfect weather, cant wait.

I should be able to make this one.

Sounds like a good time. It's in my calendar.

Good start for just a few hours old. So far in are:

Been there in June when it was 103 during the day and dropped to 48 at night.

I checked the averages in November, Like Lonestar Rubi said, highs of 80's and lows of 40's. It should be perfect.

Count me in. Looking forward to it.

In so far are

How long of a drive should we be looking at?

For you it would be about an 8 1/2 hour drive per mapquest. From Corpus you would probably come up to US90, then turn west. I intend to take US90 versus IH10, we could set up a time to meet in Hondo and travel together.

I really want to make a trip to Big Bend so I'm eagerly watching this thread. I can't commit at this point, but am very interested. I assume everyone would be campingl?

Don't know at this point what everyone will be doing for housing. I plan to take the motor home. I know there is a hotel in terlingua. I plan to get with some who have gone very soon and will post up and take a poll on what everyone wants to do. I want to get the plan in place early so everyone can plan and schedule everything now and not have suprises at the last minute.

Another question, is this a long weekend type event (Thursday-Sunday) or a whole week??

It's up to everyone. I just put it out there to see if there is interest. Now that there is, we can start planning. I read over the Easter post for Big Bend and from what I gather to enjoy it all we need to plan for some time. I think we should plan for two days of travel, four days at the park. Which would be at least 6 days. I plan to go down on Monday morning and stay till Sunday. I reckon each person can decide when they want to get there and when they want to leave, not everyone needs to come and go at the same time. I will leave a contact number for those who wish to come later in the week so they can join in when they get there. As I look into it it appears there is lots to see and do.

What does everyone think?

After seeing the pics from DJ's trip back in May, I seriously wanna go! If I do I will probably leave on A Friday or Saturday Morning and Leave Big Bend The following Friday or Sat. When y'all get a set date I will request vacation and see what happens!
