Hooray! It's spring break and I'm about to travel 600 miles south and west to Big Bend National Park, where it's 30 degrees warmer than it is here. I'm not quite sure what to expect, except it's the only place I've ever heard of that encourages backpackers to stash extra water in special animal-proof water caches. I wonder if the Minutemen know about this - it seems like it could help illegal immigrants survive in the desert and lead to further cultural decay.
