gulped in some much needed air. The camp was just a small clearing off the road. A fire pit sat in the middle with about ten logs around it. There were no tents or signs of shelter aside from a couple of low hanging branches that could provide some protection from a light rain or a particularly bright sun. A thin river ran at the far end of the camp‚ which was a small incline about ten feet deep with a couple of willows and an assortment of other trees that benefit from the running water. I took

Queens of The Stone Age‚ Clutch‚ Monster Magnet‚ maybe even The Grateful Dead prior to the passing of Jerry Garcia! I forget my earlier misconceptions and start to daydream of that type of life; living from day to day‚ not worried about what must be done‚ only worried about what you want to do. I could travel from town to town following my favorite band in a rusty old dust covered Volkswagen bus.

Zarja G. ESSAY #: About a person They say you will never forget the person you first laid your eyes on. A tinny glimpse‚ which you probably do not remember‚ although it somehow stayed in your heart.

Despite what many people think‚ Big Bend has more to offer than just deserts‚ cacti‚ and zero wifi. It is filled with beautiful wildlife and splendid mountains.
