Big Bend National Park

Well, we're done at the Pumpkin Patch for the season and back on the road.  Last summer, we decided that we didn't want to manage the Christmas Tree lot this year and only manage the Pumpkin Patch.  We left the lot just before Thanksgiving and headed to Blythe to visit for a week with our friends Christine and Bob.  After relaxing with them, we left for Elberta, Alabama.  On our way, we decided to make a stop at Big Bend National Park in Texas.

Big Bend National Park is a destination park.  It is not near any Interstates but it is well worth the drive.
