This is Passport to Texas

Learn what happens when a couple of middle-aged men 
challenge themselves to experience Big Bend Ranch State 
park on foot, bike, raft and horseback. It's in the August 
issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine; Editor, Louie 
Bond.

53 -- Last August we had a great adventure, and it was so much 
fun that we decided to repeat it again this year. So we've sent 
two of the state's top talents -- photographer Laurence Parent 
and write Joe Nick Patoski off on another great adventure. Last 
year they walked the spine of the Franklin Mountains in one 
day, which was quite grueling, and a great armchair adventure 
for all of us. This year, they've taken on BBRSP, the largest state 
park in the state, and probably the most rugged. So, they've 
taken on BBRSP by hiking, by mountain biking, by raft, and 
much against their will, on horseback. And, over the course of a 
few days, they logged, 13 miles on bicycles, 6 miles hiking, 5 
miles on horseback, and 8 miles paddled on a very still river. 
It's a great read, and a lot of fun, and I think our readers will 
enjoy it.
