I agree that prices were high for things, gas in particular was in the high $2.70s when it was as low as $2.01 in Rockport, Texas the same day. Guess these isolated areas cost more to bring things in. But, as there was little shopping other than some groceries and gas, it was offset by the low price of our camping ($110 for the week, $250 if you stay a month at Loma Paloma, with a nightly rate about $22).

The vistas and R&R are worth the extra costs, in my opinion, and we'll definitely go back. In fact, we are in Las Cruces, NM now, and are planning to drive to New Orleans by going back through the Big Bend area so we can see the National Park, too. Might just try the Maverick park for a night on the way, or one in Terlingua so it isn't as much driving in a day.

Thanks all for the good conversation and info!
