    17 humans had ever finished it since 1989. The final 20+ mile loop usually starts about 48 hours in, complete by hour 60. First out on final lap picks clockwise or ccw. They go alone, into the pre-dawn darkness. Alternating clockwise and ccw, so they can't just follow each other. First person out choose cw, so #2 was ccw, #3 cw, #4 ccw. Clockwise is considered mildly better. Jared and Jasmin (who became the only woman to complete 4 loops minutes before) came in about the same time. They are both taking a rest, on the clock. So, next runner gets to go clockwise. Jared has finished multiple times before, one of the very few to have done so. See at about min 3: Final 3 mins of 60 hour race: fwiw the 2012 documentary is free online.

    Are you crazy?!? Vampires turn to dust in the daylight. They are demons of the Night. What do you think they will do during the 2:30 of totality? They gonna rip your neck amd feast on your blood. BEWARE OF VAMPIRES DURING THE ECLIPSE! Why do you think the counties are declaring states of emergency? Because we are going to run out of tortilla chips? Fuck no. This is Texas. Devils Sinkhole. Congress Bridge. That stupid tunnel by Fredericksburg. Do I have to spell it out for you? Bat country. Most of em mexican bats, out here laying shingles amd eating skeeters. But some em... some of em are El Diablo. The Black Court. Nosferatu. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. We are all fucked. Vampire Weekend, at noon, on April 8. Fucking A.

    I've often wondered what the etiquette about pissing on a hike. Felt weird, but how can you drink 3 or 4 L and not go? But I'm pleased the NPS officially told me to go ahead and water the trees.

    I saw a black bear in Big Bend in '06. Looked like a scrawy black lab. The end.

    Probably about 8 miles west toward Terlingua. You park on a little pullout next to a bridge over a wash and just follow the drainage. It's in the Parent hiking guide, but not on the park website. I think you could also come at it from Croton Springs, but you'd probably want a map and GPS for that. It's open desert, but damn some other Big Bend hikes can get crowded and sometimes a man just needs to stop and piss.

    I continue to live in Texas for the paycheck. Texas is good for the salary to cost of living equation. But I hope to launch at least my daughter if not both my kids out of state until the politics get normal. I hope to sell my inflated ATX property and find me some cooler summer weather. But realistically we will settle in near some kiddo if we get grandkids. I just want to avoid granite - that ain't easy for holes.

    There is a good one about here:https://goo.gl/maps/awyoSXs9L25ReXzG8 An old hand dug well near a small cabin where Onion Flat drains through Slickrock Canyon.

    Not really. Well, I did find a used 21' ladder so that should hold for a while. I gotta build a 10x20 shed roof at la Casita. This weekend looks to be soggy, so I'm not sure if I will get up there. Did Big Bend / McDonald star party / Balmorhea for Spring Break.

    Bagged the South Rim with the kiddos this weekend. Did Boquillas for enchiladas, fresca, and cerveza today. Headed to observatory tonight, and to Balmorhhea tomorrow morning for a chilly baptism before home beckons. Window, Saturday evening:

    I don't know how those dudes work a full shift busting ass. I can putter a bit at the ranch, but I'm going half speed most of the time. And day after day? Damn.

    Before I get old I want to get a dozen of these tainted pills just in case I need to crowd the plate, take one for the team, and earn a rbi the hard way.

    I was at the building supply store in Goldthwaite, and they locals were freaking out about being overwhelmed. They ran out of no trespassing signs. The worker pointed them to the purple blaze paint, but the lady wasn't having it. She said that she works in a law office and that the purple paint "wouldn't hold up - too many foreigners who wouldn't know." After she left I assured the checker that, as lawyer, it is true that purple paint is a legal method to mark no trespassing. But then I got to thinking, and if I were her lawyer and she was planning on shooting the hordes, that yeah... maybe more than purple paint would be a good idea. So anyway, nobody go get shot. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.30.htm#30.05

    They said that preservatives would kill us, but perhaps they are just making people love longer. Maybe microplastics will make us immortal.

    I recently found out that my wife of 17 years and mother to my beautiful children doesn't really pay attention to the lyrics. I guess she just lets the vibes roll over? She doesn't really appreciate clever lyrics or concepts. I need some time to come to grips with this.

    My bad. I didn't realize Ray Dog had gotten himself into certain... quantum entanglements.
