Welcome to Tom and Jana's
March 2021 Big Bend Road Trip!
A two-week adventure to West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, including Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, White Sands National Park, and much more
This trip was originally planned for spring of 2020. We were almost out the door when the world shut down and it had to be postponed. A year later, the dark sky and barren landscape of West Texas still beckoned, so away we went. Big Bend or bust!
