Big Bend Getaway

Lost Mine Trail overlooking Mexico

The last few days I've taken a much needed break from routine and spent some time in our National Park. No gigs, no booking, no building, no dishes or laundry, just convening with one of the greatest national parks in the country. There is a rumor that Big Bend National Park could shut down this weekend indefinitely along with all the other national parks in the country because Congress members are using public programs and workers as pawns in their game of chess.

The 3rd Green Scene last weekend was a success. There were demonstrations on cob building, earthship construction, and rainwater harvesting. Don Bryant and I gave a demonstration on building with ferrocement. And the live music was all powered by the sun, which we did not have a shortage of that day.  All proceeds went to benefit Terlingua's community garden and recycling department.
