Last day of work at Rio Grande Village in Big Bend National Park

So today was our last day of work at Rio Grande Village in Big Bend National Park.

On our last 2018 hike in the Basin

It was bittersweet since we have just completed our first workamping assignment at a National Park, made very good friends in the park we would miss forever, managed a store in a National Park, got to spend 6 months in the Chihuahuan desert, kayaked the Rio Grande River, had a fun weekend at Lajitas Resort, fell in love with Terlingua, found our favorite National Park and on and on.

Last stop at the store to say Goodbye

Thank you Forever Resorts,
Chisos Basis Lodge,
Rio Grande Village Store,
and Gary and Maria!! 

and off we go one to our next adventure!

This has been a one-time event for us, and we will never forget it.

We have memories and good friends that will last a lifetime.

It's been an eye-opening and enlightening experience for both of us.

As we leave our favorite National Park, we look forward to good times and travels throughout our home state of Texas for the month of September 2018.

After stopping by Seminole Canyon State Park & Historic Site, we'll head to Enchanted Rock state park to spend the Winter via Austin of course! 

I'll (Bert) be a volunteer park host, and Lupe will work in Fredericksburg.

And here is our Google Photo album of every photo we've taken (and saved) from Big Bend since 2014.
