I've been down to Big Bend 3 times in the last 5 years, but it's always been to the national park. I get the itch every single January as my typical trip is usually over President's Day. I'm always coming from the other direction (DFW), and although I have once taken the drive from Terlingua to Presidio, I've never had the time in my schedule to venture into the state park. Day 1 video was fun to watch.

I didn't know the national park was starting to take advanced reservations for backcountry sites. That's great news! It stinks to drive so far and then hope you can secure a site that isn't an hour back off the road. I had one trip where I was happy to take one of those sites vs. no site at all.
