bears are hungry and a bit testy and we are going to give them the space they
need to be wild bears.” Basin Campground closed until further notice,

GoFundMe fundraiser for the Mendoza family of Terlingua
Juanita suffered an
unexpected medical emergency recently, and we all know too well how quickly
medical expenses can rack up when you are least able to deal with the burden.
Even with insurance, many costs aren't covered or exceed coverage limits, and
some providers might be out of network.
Traveling to and from
medical appointments can also become costly, and insurance doesn't cover gas
and other travel expenses.
Juanita and Carlos
have worked hard and given much of themselves to our community. It's our turn
to help them as much as we can.
Thanks for any amount
you can donate!
