The
Hot Springs Historic District of Big Bend National Park is an idyllic spot
along the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. It was once used as a health spa
and as a meeting place for people from both sides of the river. There are
several barely-preserved buildings and a magnificent giant palm fanning out over the
rugged landscape. I dubbed it the, “tropical paradise in the desert,” in Deadly Exodus (only $0.99 on Amazon) and identified it as the place the characters would attempt their
daring border crossing into Mexico in their desperate pursuit of freedom.
This tropical paradise in the desert always
elicits pleasant memories of visiting Big Bend National Park. One of the other many
bonuses of Big Bend is that I’ve never experienced the crowds I often encounter
at other national parks. Big Bend gives a person the space and scenery to
experience true solitude.
