The Big Bend National Park is a land of contrasts. Although it consists primarily of semiarid plains characterized by gravel covered slopes, arroyos, and washes, this general landscape is interrupted by conspicuous mountain belts and by the winding Rio Grande which has carved spectacular canyons through some of the rugged highlands. Romantic interest is added by the close proximity to the people of Old Mexico and by the colorful legends and stories of the country.

Hello Doodlebug - / Do you know anyone in Chattanooga who would send you a postcard? Maybe Daniel Boone?

You, too, can see Snow White and the Seven Dwarves if you visit Rock City! I don't know about Daniel Boone, though.

Prosit Neujahr! Happy New Year!

Best wishes for a peaceful and fulfilling New Year!
