My husband and I will be attending this hiking program the week of Dec. 1, 2013. We would love to meet someone at the airport to share a ride to the park. I am hoping someone will be interested.

I am joining the Feb 2 - 9 hike at Big Bend. I am interested in hiking in or around El Paso on the 10th - there seem to be a number of choices. Any one else interested?

Ride Share El Paso to Big Bend. I will be joining the December 2 Big Bend Hiking Trip. My plan is to fly into El Paso. I would be happy to share driving and or expenses to the trip to and from the park. Please speak up if you are interested. I am happy to drive, but will also be content to be a passenger.
