Big Bend
Anyone been to the national park? We have a hunting property about 2 hours away and want to bring the trailer down there at the end of season (late Jan-Feb). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Been saying I would go for years. Was thinking about using Seminole Canyon SP as a stopover from Houston.
Anyone have experience there?
We used Seminole Canyon as a stopover from Houston to Alpine. It was a good park. Finding a site there shouldn't be a problem. We were the only rig in our loop. I would recommend a full day there. Take the tour into the canyon (you must sign up for a scheduled tour) to see the native American rock art. If you hike the trail to the Rio Grande in the park, the cliffs on Lake Amistad are quite impressive. We also enjoyed a visit to Langtry, home of Judge Roy Bean, "The Law West of the Pecos." We got a kick out of seeing the "No Fishing from Bridge" sign at the high level bridge over the Pecos River Canyon on the way to Langtry.
I recommend gasing up in Del Rio. There may not be any fuel from where US90 crosses Lake Amistad near Del Rio to Sanderson. We found the stations in Comstock and Langtry closed on the Sunday we tried to refill there. There might be more options now, but the entire area is pretty remote, as you might expect.
I noticed the church in Langtry only had services 1 or 2 Sundays out of the month.
