I have long been a backpacker who is in love with Big Bend National Park. Dr. Ed McGuire introduced me to the Park in the mid 80's and we have been back many times. I originally began this blog as a prelude for my first backpacking trip with my son and nephew. We returned in January from a shortened but successful trip and now the planning and training begin again.

I am a Rock
Simon and Garfunkel's old song is a long range goal of mine. One is to get in as good as physical shape as possible and then to be mentally strong enough to be an island. The rock portion is the easy part but the island part is quite difficult. Everything is about creating the discipline, the confidence and the single mindedness to approach life as an individual and not worry about what others might think. This is a long term goal and I will not get there quickly. As I have learned other the last decade "One day at a time".
