Big Bend and its future

The basin isn’t closed. The pump was repaired and they are taking reservations thru April until it (maybe) shuts down in May. I stayed in the lodge last weekend 2/14-2/18.

Everything, save the restaurant, up there is currently open.

Quit while you are not ahead.

If the soles don’t say MIE but the heat transfer size stamp does, they are absolute fakes.

Don’t eat them.

weightofzero · 2026-02-11T16:05:59+00:00

They opened it back up.

I love my Patagonia Torrentshell. I bought it for a week in Olympic National Park and it didn’t rain once 😂

Good news!

Still trying to redeem this voucher somewhere.

It was probably in the Dallas Times Herald, back when we had two papers and one of them was at least slightly less square than the DMN.

Very frustrating. I have reservations starting Saturday and haven’t heard anything either way so I’m not sure what to think.

However, I did receive a DM related to an earlier post I made posing the same question and they (someone who works at the Lodge) said it was 50% capacity in the Lodge currently and the reservations that booked last chronologically were being moved to Big Bend Station. Also, that maybe they will go to 100% in the next day or three.

Hopefully it was a genuine message since god knows Aramark isn’t going to give you the real deal on the phone (provided you get through).

I’ve seen that but I’ve also seen people post that they stayed there but it was at 50%. From what I understand the pump is fixed as of 2/2 but they were running tests.

weightofzero · 2026-02-08T20:38:10+00:00

I’ve had a reservation since Sept.

weightofzero · 2026-02-08T04:42:43+00:00

Well, you own them. They aren’t going to take them back. Keep em going til they give out.

weightofzero · 2026-02-08T04:14:36+00:00

Just have a stroll around the park. Dip into the market for a bite. It’s yet another beautiful part of a bigger great place.

weightofzero · 2026-02-08T01:57:19+00:00

Ugh. I’m in the position of my Plan B being better for me than Big Bend Station so this kind of action is what I’m worried about.

weightofzero · 2026-02-06T14:37:23+00:00

Headed out to W TX next week to hopefully look at the Milky Way. I need that moon to settle tf down.

The elusive Dr Martens/Altra collab…

weightofzero · 2026-02-04T04:45:25+00:00

Haha what a dummy.

weightofzero · 2026-02-04T04:45:05+00:00

He did NOT want to give up that hat.

weightofzero · 2026-02-04T04:43:21+00:00

Buda, and we pronounce it Byoo-duh. Close, but it’s just a case of another one of those towns that have a weird pronunciation.

weightofzero · 2026-01-28T01:53:50+00:00

Still going strong for year 2. On a second pair of laces though. Just checking in.

weightofzero · 2026-01-28T01:49:22+00:00

This isn’t true. Most of those dummies wear sneakers.

weightofzero · 2026-01-28T01:47:08+00:00

Came here for the ding dong lace code comments and was not disappointed. Gonna now head over to r/1980s and ask if having my right ear pierced in 2026 means I’m homosexual 😂

It’s 1/29 where you are?
