Springtime in Big Bend region invites outdoor joys and blooms
Ly Hallie Stillwell notes bright days, cool air, and wildflowers blooming across the Big Bend. She mentions bluebonnets along the river, daggers at Dagger Flat ready to bloom, and 40 cactus varieties soon flowering. Local figures like Bill Donnell and rancher Mary Cox are in Alpine or Washington for cattle and ranching talks. Raymond Urban arrives as new area game warden, settling in Alpine with his wife.
