It’s hard to believe but back when Spain owned Texas and New Mexico way before any dams being built on the the Rio Grande they use to take ocean going vessels all the way up into New Mexico from the gulf. They use to be able to do the same on the Pecos Rivers. I’m glad I clicked on your video. I’m going to Big Bend soon and wanted to see this old. mine. I’m ready to drive the river road with my newly bought 4x4 Stay safe stay healthy
It is crazy because you can walk across it now! (Take your passport). The mine is totally cool and worth spending some time at. Plenty to explore in the park.
Crazy to me that from where I live in Amarillo it's the same distance to Pagosa Springs as it is to Big Bend. I'll definitely have to make the trip down there, though. Thanks for all the extra info.
It's pretty decent, but I don't have much to compare it to though. It's got like 24k mi on it and I put 14k of them on it the past couple years. Bought it used. It was my first (and only bike). Just didnt want to spend a lot on a hobby I wasn't sure about. It needs the valves checked I think, but it's taken a lot of abuse and keeps on going. If I had to complain about anything, maybe the rear suspension.
@@getlosttrails It has a way of getting down in your blood, good to hear that you're hooked. And we never have enough time to do it all, you just have to make the most of what you do have and do your best to add more whenever possible.
Nice!!!! I’m so looking forward to a big Bend
It's honestly a pretty cool and diverse place you wouldn't expect from the areas you drive through to reach it.

I definitely think it's isolatation keeps the attendance numbers low down there. It's quite a neat desert mountain region though.
It's cool to see a pre-KTM buyout TR650 Husqvarna. How's that bike treating you?

@@getlosttrails Well it sounds like you're definitely getting your money out of it. Safe to say that the hobby is secure now? Haha!
@texlee1640 Pretty committed to it now, just never as much time as I want to play.
