Fall protection. He must have been moving and not hooked, a point failed. Damn that is terrible. I worked Fire Rescue and a fall recovery is brutal. He was beat up bad

Check out their website. Green fees are seasonal. Nearest airport is Midland, about a four hour drive to Lajitas. If you have the $$$ you can charter a flight to the resort.

I guess I got confused. I thought the lodge was closed along with the restaurant. Guess not since you stayed there.

The lodge has been closed for a few years now. Cabins are still open but booked way in advance.

I stayed in one the Boardwalk condos. It was nice but pricey. The restaurant was ok but also pricey. If you are coming out this far I would look for an Airbnb in Terlingua and enjoy the dining options in Terlingua. Also it will be hot. Do early morning hikes and bring plenty of water. A hiker had to air lifted last week due to heat exhaustion. Check Far Flung Adventures they have nice cabins.
Another option is Davis Mountains State Park and the Fort Davis National Historic site. From there you can go to Balmorhea State Park for swim in the natural spring fed pool.

re: At what age do you really start realizing death is gonna happen in your own life?
Posted by Lefty Diego on 3/17/26 at 1:52 am to AMac
I was 21 working Fire Rescue EMS. I experienced from a baby, teenager and adults die. I knew it could be me any day. I changed careers and experienced a pipeline explosion in my thirties. I had a motorcycle wreck in my forties, that sucked. I was assaulted in 2019 and defended myself with a firearm. Now I'm 54 and had a myocardial infarction in October. I lost my Dad in 2014 and my sister last year. I was a pallbearer for a friend at 19. I have been well aware of death my whole life. I have accepted it.

I do not understand putting chemicals in your home. I like to breathe the cleanest air possible.

re: Call & Write your Congressman: Big Bend is no place for a border wall

Everything is good here. Please reference your info. Seeing a vehicle? Murders?

Not sure what you are referring to. This place is safe. Trust me, there are
no suspicious vehicles that don’t get pulled over. Unsolved murders? I always like talking about this stuff from non locals.

I live in Alpine and spend a good amount of time in the park and South Brewster County. Illegal immigration is not near as bad here than other areas. There is no need for a wall. Give Border Patrol the resources they need. Take a look at Terrell County Sheriff Thadeus Cleveland FB page he discusses illegal immigration and shows arrests.

Just call your provider. It is an insurance policy you pay for. The will contact the doctor with your authorization. Real easy. I did it twice with surgery.

The contract has not been awarded. The May 2026 date will be pushed back again. I heard they were having problems getting bidders due to the logistics of the project. One major problem is labor and lodging.

The restaurant and lodge will not be renovated when they are there. The closing dates keep getting pushed back. The restaurant is closed and the lodge is open but having water problems due to broken pumps. The basin is open. I hear that they are having a hard time getting bids due to the logistics of the remote access.

On mine, you pull the face strait off and the batteries go in it.

Do they have batteries in them? I had to replace mine last night.
