Big Bend National Park
Added 2023-06-12 22:26:46 +0000 UTCNot only was this one of the COOLEST lodging places I've ever stayed at, but it was also the darkest place I've been to. The stars looked SO amazing, I've never seen so many before. It was also super freaking sweet to see the Nebula clouds (which again I've never seen). The only downside was it was 105° and we did a 6 mile hike....im surprisingly not as sunburned as I thought I was going to be, but holy moly do you go through SO much water. It definitely gets really difficult really fast to hike in that heat. Did a scenic drive and found ourselves at the Rio Grande River, which was warm, and I REGRET not bringing my bathing suit!
Finding mountain lion tracks was a little spooky (found twice, actually), and the cave hotel was absolutely mind-blowing. It's legit built into the side of a mountain and is absolutely worth EVERY PENNY! If you EVER get the chance, you should 100% do it.
I apologize for the absence this week, but this is what was happening. It was nice to unplug for a few days and just exist.

2023-06-12 22:47:13 +0000 UTCOh yeah, the heat was KILLER but it was all worth it. I do want to attempt a few days in cooler weather so I can hike more!

2023-06-12 22:46:46 +0000 UTCThat's fair, and you are right! It's vital to our mental health and just overall health for just unwind and reset!

2023-06-12 22:45:29 +0000 UTCBut that means at one point there WAS Tito's in it so my point stands LOL

2023-06-12 22:45:16 +0000 UTCIt was definitely worth it. It's mostly recommended during cooler times but the caves get booked up frequently!

2023-06-12 22:44:59 +0000 UTCHahah that was just a box to out dry goods in! 🤣
Abadon
2023-06-12 22:44:26 +0000 UTCI spy a Tito's box. If you're gonna stay hydrated might as well get the very best 😁. And good for you going dark for a few days. Nothing resets the brain better than unplugging and taking in life as you make it, not as it's fed one post/tweet at a time.
