As the old saying states "GO WEST, YOUNG MAN, GO WEST" and that is exactly what I am going to do come Saturday! My best friend & I will be heading down to ride around in the Big Bend area for 5 days!!!!
-
Good time of the year to go if you don't get caught up in spring break.
-
I am jealous. Enjoy!
-
I have yet been to Big Bend. Would love to go sometime soon.
-
Perfect time of year, Enjoy :thumbup: :thumbup:

Maybe a long weekend road trip is in order, but need some time to plan and make arrangements. Would love to get out there and I have heard a ton of people can usually enjoy it in 5 days or so.

This is my 1st trip down there also!! We will be staying in Marathon & our plans for Monday are to ride through the park and then take the River Road up to Presidio, then turn north to Marfa, then back east to Marathon. We will probably go back down & spend more time in the park on Tuesday.
-
Doing a trip out there at the end of the month! can't wait!
-
Put me down as someone who has never gone...but would love to go!
-
Been there but not on the bike, something I have been wanting to do for years
-
I looked up some of the roads out there and now I am hooked. Definitely going to do a trip out there, just need to find the time to do it.
-
Yeah. I've been looking at roads out there for a good while. There is something about the desert that draws me to it. :bikerider:
-
Sounds like we have a good group that's interested....don't think Libby will make that trip..but I'm in.

I was wondering what was out there, you posted up some specific roads and it made me look closer. Turns out there is some good riding out there. Yes, you started something.

Went there last April with some of the crew...what an unbelievable trip! It was definitely too short...need a solid 7+ days to take it all in. We did it in 4 days total, and two of those days were travel days to/from.
Too many pics to copy and paste here, so here's my link from the "big boy" board. ;D

Yeah, I talked to Ruthy and depending on our situation when this trip comes to fruition, she may or may not go but looks like I'm down.

The one time that I had a chance to go something like that happened too. But I know I'll get to go sometime.

My riding buddy took his wife with him instead. He said that the "River road" was the best ride he's been on to date!!

Bryce, I don't know how locked in you are on the date you're going, but there is going to be a full moon on March 23. That's absolutely the worst time for star gazing. The bright moon light will wash out any view of the Milky Way. If you could put off your trip for two weeks, that'll put you there during a new moon, which would be absolutely the best time seen view the night sky. Whatever your decision is, enjoy your trip.
