50 years of walking 
I’m just a day hiker so will never see the sights you’ve described and beautifully photographed (great results from that Panny Lumix LX7, an old camera!) but I thoroughly enjoyed reading several of your Big Bend reports… I, too, have been visiting since 1973. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Richard, you can clearly understand the draw of the Bend.
