Camping trip 259, or the 2nd real camping trip in Rio Grande, was at Cathy Canyon. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. The weekend weather looked pretty darned good for in-between 2 rain events. Full story on my Corner.
Dog Canyon Campground. The name itself instills a false sense of dread within me due to its similar name to a trail located at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park that winds up the mountains and takes you nearly up to Sunspot. A trail that took me a few times to make it up to the top – Dog Canyon Trail.
Excerpt: Our first real camping trip in Rio Grande was at Guadalupe Mountains National Park: Dog Canyon Campground. Over the long Labor Day weekend. No hookups. Is Rio Grande capable of boondocking? TLDR – yes! Full story on my Corner.
With Airstream, one can officially name their RV and have an aluminum medallion engraved with that registered name. Ours has been named Rio Grande. More on my Corner.
As is our tradition, we spent a week of Christmas at our favorite location – Big Bend Ranch State Park. The interior main road was worse than usual due to the summer storms of 2025, but we made it to our spot, roughly 12 miles from turning off FM170 just outside Presidio, in an hour and 45 minutes. Those were a slow, grueling 12 miles.
