Not many people go to Big Bend, for which I suppose I should be grateful. It’s too hard to get to – hundreds of miles from anything “interesting.” It’s not on the way to anywhere, and even upon arriving at one of the gateway cities Marfa or Alpine you still have a long drive to the park. And alas, for many who endure that long trek, there is, well, nothing there. We drove two days for this? When do we eat?
