December 10-16, 2017
Salimos desde Dallas el domingo 10 de Diciembre del 2017. Llegamos al primitive campsite “Nine Point Draw” (es el campsite más al Norte del parque), después de 8 horas y media de manejo.
Llegamos justo antes de que el visitor center cerrara (4:00pm) y pagamos el permiso para pasar la noche en los “primitive roadside campsites” (backcountry permits: $12) y la entrada al parque ($25)
Pasamos la noche en medio de la nada. Hacía más frío de lo que esperábamos. Pasamos frío con los sleeping-bags de “2-seasons”, afortunadamente llevamos unas cobijas que salvaron el viaje.
Al día siguiente fuimos a “Fossil Bone Exhibit”,
me encantó toda la información que tenían de todos los fósiles de dinosaurios que han encontrado ahí.
Manejamos 1 hora y media hacia “Rio Grande Village”, dejamos el sobre con el pagó de la noche ($14) y fuimos a ver el atardecer en “Rio Grande Village Nature Trail”, el trail esta fácil, con un poco de elevación y solo son .75 millas de distancia.
Al día siguiente hicimos “Boquillas Canyon Trail” (1.3 millas) ahí es donde hablamos con los mexicanos del otro lado del río “Rio Grande”. Compré uno de los palos para caminar que vendían en su puestito y fueron los mejores $10 dls gastados en el viaje. Sin él me hubiera caído mil veces en el trail “Lost Mine”
Después, manejamos hacia “Hot Springs Canyon Trail”. Me arrepiento un poco de no haberme metido a las aguas termales. Hacia calor pero creo que no hay mejor momento para hacerlo que en Diciembre.
Manejamos una hora hacia “Chisos Basin Campground”.
La mañana siguiente salimos temprano para hacer el “Lost Mine Trail” (4.6 millas). El hielo hizo el trail mucho mas cansado de subir. Los paisajes de este trail fueron los mejores de todo el viaje. Todas las fotos de esos paisajes estaban en el cel de Julio :/
Comimos mientras manejamos hacia “Grapevine Hills” para ver “the balanced rock”. El trail estuvo corto y plano (2.2 millas), el último cuarto de milla tenías que escalar unas piedras grandes.
En la carretera de Grapevine Hills vimos a un par de personas con un telescopio del tamaño de un coche. Le pregunté que era lo que quería ver y me dijo “The Andromeda Galaxy”. Uff! Aguanté mis ganas de pedirle que me adoptara como su nieta y me ensañara todo lo que sabía y seguimos nuestro camino de regreso al campground.
Vimos el atardecer más hermoso que he visto en mi vida enmarcado por “the window” (una montaña hermosa)
Nos despertamos a las 3am y vimos la lluvia de meteoros Géminis. Estuvo hermoso! Dejamos chocolate caliente en un termo grande, el chocolatito sabía a gloria a esa hora con tanto frío y con un espectáculo increíble.
A las 6:30 am salimos hacia Terlingua, llegamos a “Big Bend River Tours”. Hicimos la reservación un día antes y pagamos un anticipo de $50, y pagamos el resto al llegar a sus oficinas ($220)
Yo quería hacer el recorrido en el cañón de Santa Elena pero el nivel del agua estaba muy bajo.
A la mitad del recorrido la guía nos hizo de comer. Estuvo muy agradable.
Todo el recorrido duró como 7 horas.
Al día siguiente manejamos una hora hacia Santa Elena Canyon Trail
(1.4 millas) y pasamos por “Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive”. Nunca había disfrutado tanto de una carretera, los paisajes que puedes apreciar desde la comodidad de tu coche son impresionantes.
El cañón de Santa Elena esta muy bonito. Definitivamente me quedé con las ganas de regresar a explorarlo en otro “river trip”.
De regreso hicimos dos trails fáciles, cortos y placenteros.
“Tuff Canyon Floor” y “Burro Mesa Pouroff Trail”
Cuando llegamos a Chisos Basin, hicimos “The Window View Trail”, es un trail pavimentado y súper corto.
Y al día siguiente nos regresamos a Dallas.
Big Bend es un parque muy diverso, tiene ríos, cañones, desierto, bosque y montañas y todo a menos de una hora de manejo.
Nos faltaron varios trails por hacer. Espero regresar pronto ????

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
For the Texas State Park see Big Bend Ranch State Park.
Big Bend National Park is an American national park located in West Texas, bordering Mexico. The park has national significance as the largest protected area of Chihuahuan Desert topography and ecology in the United States. The park protects more than 1,200 species of plants, more than 450 species of birds, 56 species of reptiles, and 75 species of mammals.Geological features in the park include sea fossils and dinosaur bones, as well as volcanic dikes. The area has a rich cultural history, from archeological sites dating back nearly 10,000 years to more recent pioneers, ranchers, and miners.The park encompasses an area of 801,163 acres (1,251.8 sq mi; 3,242.2 km2). For more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km), the Rio Grande/Río Bravo forms the boundary between Mexico and the United States, and Big Bend National Park administers approximately 118 miles (190 km) along that boundary. The park was named after a large bend in the river, and the Texas—Mexico border.Because the Rio Grande serves as an international boundary, the park faces unusual constraints while administering and enforcing park rules, regulations, and policies. In accordance with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the park's territory extends only to the center of the deepest river channel as the river flowed in 1848. The rest of the land south of that channel, and the river, lies within Mexican territory. The park is bordered by the protected areas of Parque Nacional Cañon de Santa Elena and Maderas del Carmen in Mexico.
Boy Makes Rare Dinosaur Discovery In Texas
A boy and his father were searching for fossils in Mansfield in Texas, when the boy made an unbelievable find. Buried in the earth, the child discovered rare dinosaur bones dating back 100 million years.
Last Sep., Tim Brys, a Dallas Zoo keeper, came with his son, Wiley, to the future shopping center site, to carry out a fossil hunt. The ground had been unearthed to make way for development, and Tim said he had hoped to come across some fish fossil buried there.
That day, the dad and son come across some fish vertebrae at the site. But Wiley made an amazing discovery.
According to researchers at South Methodist University, Wiley had accidentally found some rare dinosaur bones, believed to date back 100 million years.
The SMU researchers began digging up the dinosaur bones. They speculate they belong to a group of dinosaurs referred to as Nodosaurs; herbivorous creatures, which lived in the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous periods.

ICR/CRS Conference Presentation in Texas
See my books at:
On my life's work in young earth science covering geology, dinosaurs, asteriod showers causing worldwide cataclysms, and ancient civilizations that were effected. And how the offspring of Fallen Angels called Giants or Nephilim (falsely called Anannaki aliens) have effected our history.
This is the full version of the lecture I presented at the Creation Research Society & Institute for Creation Research yearly two day Conference in Dallas Texas on August 1, 2015. It is based on my research discoveries published this year in two large books: Mysteries of History Revealed Part 1 and Part 2 at Amazon Books.
Those present included PhD scientists: Randy Guliuzza, Frank Sherwin, Steven Austin, Michael Oard, Kevin Anderson, Wayne Spencer, Danny Falkner, and many others. It is a slide illustrated lecture on Cutting edge discoveries by the author. Asteroids have showered the earth in recent history causing worldwide cataclysms and mountain building and volcanic eruptions, forming thousands of meteorite craters, and ancient Clovis plus other cultures to disappear at the time of the younger Dryus event forming the Grand Canyon depositing Pleistocene mammal bones worldwide long after the geologic column was deposited according to new discoveries documented here from technical journals, history, and observation. DINOSAUR METEORITE CONNECTION. The books also reveal historical evidence about giants and their connection to extraterrestrials. It reveals the discovery of King Arthur's grave and the excavation of his tomb at Glastonbury. It reveals who built the megalithic structures like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid. And includes historical accounts of Nimrod and Gilgamesh showing they were real people. Archaeology/geology shows that about 2000 BC there were worldwide volcanic eruptions, changes in: weather, ocean levels, mountain building, and ice formed at the poles and froze Pleistocene mammals in Alaska and Siberia suddenly triggered by massive meteorite showers.
