We're here again this week, just finding your blog post about it. We can't wait to have you come back and bring Sherry with you. Temps are amazing here this week, 76 yesterday and 72 today. Cold front rolling in tonight so that's the last of the nice temps for a few days. Loved reading your account of your stay. So much to see and do here. Thanks so much for your help and for making the trip out here to visit. Really means a lot to me, more than I can put in words.Amyhttp://www.javelinahideout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-21763911150340369002017-12-31T06:40:23.170-05:002017-12-31T06:40:23.170-05:00It was nice that you got to spend some time with y...It was nice that you got to spend some time with your brother and family.

So fun to read about your adventures in Big Bend NP. This is our first visit here, and we're loving it! I think we were standing in the same place in Santa Elena Canyon this afternoon -- and we also hiked the trail to the Mule Ears. The Javelina Hideaway looks fantastic!

Thanks to Sherry for giving you up on Thanksgiving so you could celebrate with your brother...and get to see Big Bend..and Javelina Hideout in Terlingua. I think you hit all the highlights on your whirlwind trip...a trip that would challenge even those of us who are not struggling with health issues. Amy and Angela were so excited to have you ....and I see you and your "big brother" combined your multi-talents to contribute a little to Javelina Hideout. There was a lot of rejoicing that you were able to stand up to the rigors of this trip....and reconnect again with the Roger Boyd family in their new Texas location. Love to you and Sherry...carol45@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792067923714394058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-11258179454391862252017-12-26T09:44:00.575-05:002017-12-26T09:44:00.575-05:00We are headed to Big Bend in the next couple weeks...We are headed to Big Bend in the next couple weeks, we have driven by it a couple times but this time we are stopping!Jim and Barb's Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552315333349717925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-26560963190050748462017-12-24T22:25:58.387-05:002017-12-24T22:25:58.387-05:00So glad you had that opportunity, David.So glad you had that opportunity, David.Pam Sprousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911993909677818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-90593048000817654962017-12-24T18:34:54.247-05:002017-12-24T18:34:54.247-05:00What a fun and busy trip you had!
