I’ve been going to BBNP for 30 years. Rice Tank has been my campsite dozens of times. It’s so named for Fred Rice, the rancher who settled that area for years. The tank - and why there is still so much greenery - is what he created to water his livestock. It still retains more moisture than the surrounding area.
Very nice video! We love both parks (BBNP & BBRSP). Your mention of the need for good judgement & good preparation in these very remote areas is dead on point. Spending hours to travel a distance that "back on the highway" you would cover in 30 minutes is eye opening indeed. This entire area is a treasure to explore.
Cool video! It's funny I've watched videos just like yours that I just can't get through they are so boring,but yours kept my attention. I'm going in February with my brother and two friends. I've been a number of times,but never off road. We are going to explore off road with big adv bikes.
@@OutoftheOfficeAdventures I am near Morgan City. Are you on the Louisiana Overland group on Facebook. I am wanting to make a trip to Big Bend. Just stumbled across your video
@@bubbacharpentier1286 Cool! Didn't even know about the group but just joined. Big Bend is awesome and really not too far for all great adventures out there.
Thanks for the pointing out having enough emergency supplies.
Yep, definitely don't head out there without enough water.
