....sleeping on a picnic table at night......

 :lol: , picnic tables, that'd be him.

He also mentioned that you were a leading expert on Big Bend and one of his best friends.

well, he was right about one thing, he has been one of my very best friends since Jr. High School, but I'm certainly no expert on BB, but there are people here who are.   good luck with the film and your career.

Take everything light hearted here, "I'll admit that I am and maybe others too..."  are just a bunch of BIBE - Big Bend - geeks.  :shock:

Hows that Vince?

Hate to follow that geek comment Shane...but maybe it's true so I won't fight it.
Indiana...so glad you liked the park and the shoot was successful.
If you haven't seen the movie Gerry, it was also primarily filmed at Big Bend.
Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.

I have been told watching it is a bit like doing penance, so be forewarned...but I also hear the scenery is fantastic.

If you can make it through the second trailer, you can probably make it through the movie...but I don't know.

Haven't seen the movie, but it appears to be based on a real incident in 1999 in Rattlesnake Canyon at Carlsbad Caverns resulting in a homicide.

The story is recounted, not especially well, in a book 'Journal of the Dead'. The author based his work solely on a review of court transcripts and leaves a lot of obvious questions unanswered.

The story of the sole survivor doesn't wash. You simply cannot get lost in Rattlesnake Canyon, and if you climb to the rim as the suspect says they did, you could not fail to see the visitor center or the fact that a very short distance down canyon it spill out onto the plains, with ranches, oil pads, etc. visible.

The best part of the book was the suspect's stated belief that because they had filled out a camping permit they had a 'contract' with the NPS for rescue and handholding.

the movie is a little hard to get through.  talk about some long takes!  it's not filmed in big bend though.  it's filmed in California (Death Valley), Utah, Nevada, and Argentina.    The majority I think is in Argentina,  the Death Valley bits are obvious as are the Utah (salt lake).
