June and July are dangerously hot. I think the lodge closes for renovations in May

From the website:
Pardon Our Dust
Thanks to funding from the Great American Outdoors Act, work on two large construction projects in the Chisos Basin is scheduled to begin May 1, 2026 and continue for approximately two years. As work begins, the Chisos Basin area will be closed to visitor entry. This includes the Basin Road, lodging units, Basin Campground, restaurant, NPS visitor center, camper store, and surrounding trail access. This work will ONLY affect the Chisos Basin area of Big Bend National Park. As major components are completed, park managers will assess which areas can be safely reopened to regular public access.

Stay tuned as construction contracts are finalized and work timelines are set.

Interestingly enough, when I booked using travel miles it was the same BTR or IAH departure?

I'm starting to understand why they always lose money
Darn Tough Vermont is the only sock I wear anymore in cold weather, they have different weights, lengths etc

Flight question

Posted by ecb on 1/25/26 at 5:53 pm
How can it be $900 more to fly to Munich from Houston vs flying from Baton Rouge thru Houston when it's the same flight from Houston?

I'll drive to BTR to save $900, can I just not board that last leg on the return flight?

TIA

Need shorter barrels for these pistol calibers
Arky boys should stick to hunting and fishing, sports are not for you.

Gun prices

Ive been looking at GunBroker lately and it appears all the guns im interested in are selling at MSRP??

And when did AKs get more expensive than ARs?

And what idiot pays $1000 for those ugly Russian surplus guns that used to be $89 in the back of field and stream?
