Finding America: Big Bend Sampler

Vanlife, Finding AmericaBruce LComment

2 Weeks in Big Bend

The trip so far has been full of surprises… from an unannounced “Border Patrol-style” unexpected visit up a rough 2.5 mile dirt road by Mary Willenbrock and her brother Dan (great company BTW), losing my headlamp light about 30 minutes before daybreak to finding a guide in Mexico (Raúl) to show me around his town of Boquillas, Mexico.

Before delaying my blog post further here is a Big Bend Sampler. After all it’s supposed to be a photo blog…

Currently editing for my next photo blog and doing laundry. Carlsbad, New Mexico,

Santa Elena Canyon, first(ish) light


Getting up early almost everyday for 2 weeks to get some good light is exhausting.
