February 14 – 16

High winds were forecast on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, so I stayed near the RV park and explored the Pueblo Ruins in Teringua Ghost Town which was close by. Spent a lot of time getting ready to leave the RV park and head north out of Big Bend.

The route to the Visitor’s Center in the middle of BB at Panther Junction was very familiar, I drove it every day! From the Visitor’s Center I headed north to the entrance to BB, Persimmon Gap. The main attraction along the way was the Fossil Bone Exhibit. I’ve included some of the information signs to give you a sense of the uniqueness of the history of the dinosaurs and why this is such a unique place exposing many unique fossils.

The road continued north, passed Dog Canyon, and the last Visitor Center in Persimmon Gap. I left Big Bend, heading north to the town of Marathon. I had made a reservation for an RV park there, and walked around it to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Drove one more day to Del Rio, nothing notable except another gentler sunset.
