I just did my obligatory "Here" post too. lol

So I would try the road to nowhere for your first time. it's pretty easy, but there are drop offs. In the state park, drive all the way east to "Tres Papalotes". If there are people camping, stop and say hi, check that there isn't anyone already up on the trail, as it's a single lane trail...

I saw michael post something about it, but I don't know. I'll have to look. I'm on Texas Overland and DFW overland facebook groups too.

Just found this on the interwebs.

Heck Yeah!!! Count me in. I'm halfway between D & FW in Arlington.

I believe @IronPercheron is the fellow from Matagorda. @ZetRocks, that sounds like a fun trip. I thought after Surfside, it wasn't accessible. But then again, I didn't continue researching farther south.

Ex Houstonian here, now I'm in between D & FW. I want to get back down that way and do the old hwy 87. I hear it's a blast.

I would suggest www.bigbendchat.com as another good resource. What are your plans? The State Park is my favorite of the 2. Better camping, nicer rangers and better wheeling.

If it's a portly guy with grey hair, that would be me. :)

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know!

Howdy. I used to live in Galveston years ago. I'm still hoping to do the "old highway 87" run someday soon. This is a great place to start your thread.

Yes there are, my first time down there I was on stock suspension. I would still go with at least 1 other vehicle though. Safety in numbers. The first time I went, we stayed outside of Terlingua and visited the two parks. This last trip, I moved from campsite to campsite in the state park...

It was trendy back in the day too... Now it's historical.

If you want great camping and wheeling, try Big Bend Ranch State Park over the NP. Nicer rangers, less crowds, remote camping and some fun wheeling.

I sure will. Toroweap overlook is on my bucket list. That and Casner Mountain.

Or you can drive up to Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer this weekend :)

There are some folks on the FJ Forums and Outsiders Offroad on Facebook kicking around the idea of camping and wheeling this weekend. I'm thinking about going, but not 100% yet. (ok, ok, I have to get the wife's ok... sheesh) BMRA is right outside of Gilmer, TX. Website Campsites all over the...

Thats a nice looking rig!

Yes sir, on the left side is the menu. Click that and choose "submit car story" Fill in your info and it should work.

Yup, I got mine back in 2013. I also have one that says Packmule. I figured the packmule will go on my trailer if/when I get one.
