 BIG BEND - New Years 2007
"To the dull mind all
nature is leaden. To the illuminated mind the whole world burns and sparkles
with light"
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every year, the same
question gets asked - what are we doing for New Year's Eve? Crowds, unsafe
highways and boring parties keep many of us home. Several years ago, we found
that the best place to spend the New Year is on the river! Join us as we
celebrate January 1, 2007 in the canyons of Big Bend Country. We'll have party
favors, champagne, great food and music. You won't have to put up with crowded
bars, drunk drivers, or a messy house to clean.

Should you choose to arrive the night before our departure date (most folks do), make arrangements with the Big Bend Motor Inn for overnight lodging. They are conveniently located near the national park entrance and our office." Call 800-848-2363 to make reservations. For other lodging suggestions, click here.

Departure day.
We'll meet at our offices in Terlingua at 8:00 a.m. to pack our gear and leave
for the river. Our journey today takes us into true backcountry wilderness.
We'll stop to explore some side canyons and enjoy a specially prepared river
lunch. Our overnight camp will be set up alongside the Rio Grande, so while you
take time to hike, explore, or just relax, our staff will prepare dinner.
Darkness (and we do mean complete darkness) will kick off our celebration.
Champagne and party favors appear just before midnight. The party ends when
you're ready to quit.
