BIG BEND
NATIONAL PARK, TX –Today, the National Park Service (NPS) cancelled the
solicitation for a new concession contract (# CC-BIBE002-19), which provides
lodging, food and beverage, automobile fuel, retail, RV park, and other visitor
services within Big Bend National Park. Cancelling the solicitation follows the
recent receipt of an engineering report to examine the extent of the
instability of the soils beneath the Chisos Mountains Lodge (Lodge). Additional
analysis and a planning effort, with public input, will be required to
determine feasibility and options to remediate the problem in a manner that is
financially and environmentally sustainable over the long-term Existing dining
and retail services, and overnight accommodations in the Chisos Basin, will continue
without interruption. Additional info: https://www.nps.gov/bibe/learn/news/chisos-lodge-engineering-reports.htm

different series on different
dates. If you only make it down once ...

will be a reception from 6-9 PM.
AND...........what
everyone
has been waiting for ...... Wire
Connected to ZuZu "art pieces" will be available for
purchase. These pieces will be sold, and
funds used to support conceptional art installations in 2019 with The
Back
Room. A great chance for you to support
the local art in West Texas and take home a piece of art. This is our
way of remembering. How it began ......In 2017, a group of
artists painted a series of boards reclaimed from an old adobe home.
These paintings are all abstract, no
images. Together they were hung in honor
of Zuzu. A beautiful tribute. #zuzueffect.

SUPER
MOON ON THE SPRING EQUINOX
The
March full Moon is particularly special because it reaches its peak on the same
day as the spring equinox, on March 20, 2019. The last time the full Moon and
the spring equinox coincided this closely (4 hours apart) was in March 2000,
but the last time they occurred on the same date was on March 20, 1981! This full Moon is also a supermoon, meaning
the Moon will be nearly at its closest to Earth for the month of March. It’s
the year’s third (and final) of three straight full supermoons. This means that
the Moon may “appear” brighter and bigger than normal, provided the night sky
is clear and dark.
NOTICE:
We received one extra 1,750 gal. Wylie
catchment
tank on the load. It's up for grabs.
If
you want it, call (432)371-2506 or email
Donnie
Daniels hasn’t found the rumored five feet tall blue bonnets but this one
straightens out to almost 50 inches. And Editor’s Note: Keep your eyes open for
weird colored Bluebonnets.
Dog of the week: Wiggles! is a healthy,
playful 1-year old hound mix. She is very grateful for being in a foster home
and lights up with excitement every time she gets to go for a walk. Wiggles is
very affectionate and always "on the job" as a watch dog. She enjoys
meeting new people and would do good in a home with kids with proper training.
Wiggles would do best in a feline-free home, she seems a bit too curious about
chasing cats. She is fully vaccinated, neutered and ready for her forever
family! For more information or to meet this very sweet girl, email mmwesttx@yahoo.com.
