We made our first and last trip to Big Bend National Park. Upon arriving we were met by the camp host who very nicely informed us of all the rules. We noticed that the literature and signs within the park say not to purchase any of the items (walking sticks or trinkets) placed along the trail as it was a federal crime and you can be be prosecuted for having the items.
The illegals come over and place the items and money jars. On our first stop at a hiking trail we noticed that the trail was covered in horse******and as we continued a little further we spotted a guy on horse back with a large bag over his shoulder. He started toward us on this steep narrow rocky trail and we took off for our car. I asked about it at the ranger station as I had decided It was not the place for us to stay.
They dismissed it as being customary and they really cant do anything about it. So I guess I went through two road block check points and cant even take my dog out to any of the areas unless it stays in the car and I have to put up with horse******covered trails and illegals hounding us?
As I pulled up to the check point on my way north from the disgrace I was greeted by 3 border patrol guys with their hands on their hips, ready for the 60 year old guy and his wife and 2 ten pound dog.
After telling the agent that he didn't have to worry about us having any illegals with us, that we were trying to get away from them he explained that there is nothing they can do about it because as soon as they drive up in a truck those rascals just take off back across the river. I would think that any idiot could figure that out and maybe not ride up in a border patrol truck. Maybe ride up in a regular car, have a camera, look like a tourist. We are in trouble and they have all of our money to burn as they play their games. Hey, they have jobs so they are happy.
