We also have breakfast at Espresso Y Poco Mas in Terlingua, Texas. g.page/espresso-y-poco-mas?share

We explore Croton Springs, Paint Gap, Grapevine Hills Road, Grapevine Sping, Old Maverick Road, Rattlesnake Mountain, Ocotillo Grove, and Terlingua Abajo.
We also hiked the Balanced Rock Trail, Boquillas Canyon Trail, and Santa Elena Canyon Trail.
We visit the Rio Grande Village, Cottonwood Campgroud, and Castolon Visitor Center. We also drive along the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive.
Kellie cooks up some amazing food on this trip on her Coleman Stove and Oven. She prepares Parmesan Polenta with Roasted Vegetables, and Egg, Bacon sliders on a english muffin with wild berry preserves.

Big Bend is probably my favorite place! I've been maybe 10 times - both in the middle of summer, during spring break and the first weekend in November. You hit some of the best places. Paint Gap #4 (you showed us 1, 2 & 3) is an awesome back country campsite. Our favorites, though, are McKinney Springs and La Noria #2 - both are on Old Ore Road (definitely 4wd). Love your videos - recent subscriber! Oh and BTW, those canyons are pronounced "Bo-KEY-us" and Santa "Uh-LAY-na.' Keep up the great work!

Crazy to watch this video after I watched one where they went on Jan 1st (only 3 months later) and they had snow and super cold temps. I can't wait till I get to go there myself cause it is amazing. I read a bunch a books on the history of the Texas Rangers and a lot of things happen in that area back in the late 1800's. Also the chase video was awesome as you went to breakfast.

You can grocery shop at Cottonwood in Terlinqua. Long Draw Pizza right down the road from you. It is good all the locals go there. Great BBQ at DBs Rustic Iron. The scenic drive on 170 is worth it when you have exploded all of Big Bend. I am from SC just got back from there. That fellow had his wares when we were there too but river had flooded and ramp was blocked.

Great episode! I have a couple of suggestions for making things easier for airing down and backup. Boulder tools has a kit for airing down and once you set the pressure are super easy to use and are about $40 on Amazon. For airing up, the Smittybilt 2781 Compressor is awesome , it will air up a 35 tire from 16psi to 30 psi in a couple of mins. 4WP usually has the best price on them, around $130. Should cut your air up time down to 10mins.
