"Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one.” —Ursula K. Le Guin

SUPER MOON ON SPRING EQUINOX. 🌕 The March full Moon is particularly special because it peaks the same day as Spring Equinox, March 20. The last time the full Moon and Spring Equinox coincided this closely (4 hours apart) was March 2000. The last time they occurred on the same date was March 20, 1981! This full Moon is a supermoon, meaning the Moon will be 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.

SOTOL FESTIVAL 2019. Celebrate the indigenous distilled spirit of the Chihuahuan Desert at La Kiva Restaurant and Bar in Terlingua, Texas and Boquillas, Coahuila, MX on April 12-13. At this one-of-a-kind, binational festival you will have the opportunity to try many brands of Sotol and meet the Sotoleros who produce it, along with on-site camping, live music, local vendors and more. If you are asking yourself “What is Sotol?” or if you have known about this earthy elixir for years, this festival is for you. On Friday, April 12, the festivities begin at La Kiva Restaurant and Bar, with live music from some of the best Terlingua local musicians. Saturday morning the party travels across the Río Grande from Big Bend National Park to our favorite town in México, Boquillas, for an authentic experience and to celebrate the unity, peace, dignity, and respect that we enjoy daily here in our piece of the borderland. On Saturday night, the party reconvenes at La Kiva for more live music from los Pinche Gringos, The Doodlin' Hogwallops, and headliners, Mike & The Moonpies – and, of course, more Sotol tasting! Admission to Sotol Festival 2019 is free, and campsites are available to reserve now at www.sotolfestival.com. Official festival t-shirts and merch are also available for pre-order and are expected to sell out, so don’t wait. Pack your bags, don’t forget your passport, and get ready to SOTOL FEST!

MISSING PERSON ALERT. From mother of missing daughter: Margaret is 24 and has lost her wallet with ID and debit card and forgot her phone at a friend's house. She's usually an experienced traveler but seems to be going through a rough patch. She called her mom from Big Bend National Park on Feb. 11, but the call dropped. The phone she called from answers with a computer tone. She was seen in Presidio on Feb. 19: a city police officer stopped her and told her it's illegal to be out and about without an ID -- and that's it. Family hasn’t seen her since. Please keep an eye out for her and circulate attached flyer.
DOGGO OF THE WEEK. Finnie is a sweet, loving 12 year-old Beagle mix. She gets along with just about everyone, except for cats and chickens! All jokes aside, Finnie would be excellent in a family with children and gets along well with other dogs. She is house broken and leash trained, as well as very social. Finnie is spayed, fully vaccinated and available for adoption thru Jethro Homeward Bound Pets. To meet this gal or any of other dogs and cats we have available, please check us out on PetFinder.com or send an email
