🆘 🆘

For what it’s worth - all of the man camps in Terlingua and Study Butte will be empty of contractors and their trailers over next day or so - as mentioned, many of the trailers are ending up in the massive lay down yard 10-15 miles north of Study Butte.

For what it’s worth, two workers confirmed “they will be back to Terlingua in 2-4 weeks.”

Sigh…

Ever since CBP commissioner paused the wall contractor in Big Bend National Park a few weeks ago - and they pulled all their equipment out - the man camps in the RV parks in Terlingua have basically been empty.

However, they all started showing up last night. Here we go….

Out at Stillwell near Black Gap Wildlife Management area - east side of National Park.

New RV/ man camp - wasn’t here two weeks ago - 50+ hook ups. Water pipes (blue) and fiber optic (orange) in lay down yard that has been here for several weeks.

Approx 5 semi truck trailers hauling in water this morning - assume this is from the well in Marathon, TX to the north .

Looks like full steam ahead in Black Gap. (Note drove all the way into Black Gap last night and camped - all the way to fish camp 23/24. No survey stakes etc… At least not yet.

Annual national park pass anyone?

Trump just spent two weeks hammering out a surveillance road thats supposed to stretch about 3 miles along the Rio Grande and be festooned with a 4-6ft steel vehicle barrier.

You can barely walk in this area much less drive. Due to everyone’s hard work and reporting, its all abandoned as of today. Contractors pulled out. Another wasting of millions of tax dollars on a ridiculous project for political purposes. I am so tired of dumb.

🆘 🆘 🆘

I can confirm the contractor has pulled “everything” from Solis Campground off River Road. Solis is where they spent two weeks ripping a new road across low mountains headed towards Mariscal Mountain.

This 3 + mile long road was a surveillance road with a steel vehicle barrier. Anyone who has ever stood in this location can clearly see no vehicle is ever crossing the river at the point due to the terrain - and most of the vehicle barrier planned was on the side of hills you can barely walk up.

I can only imagine what Commissioner Scott thought when he either saw it for himself (from the air) or heard our local sheriffs and local CBP about this idiocy.

I spoke to two of the contractors who said they weren’t coming back to Solis. We will see. If they thought they were going to be allowed to continue, they wouldn’t move the equipment, the Flock cameras, water tankers, the orange barriers - they even hauled off the sh*t’r.

Congrats to everyone who has been emailing, calling, and mailing in postcards to our state and federal officials. Thx to the thousands who stood on corners, at state buildings, on overpasses, etc — thx to those who filed suit. Thx to our politicians and law enforcement for speaking up. Thx to the Signal group (you know who you are).

The winds are shifting. The war is far from over, but we put some points on the board this week. Keep your sleeves rolled up; the sun comes up again tomorrow.

Peace out.

CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott taking off after he flew in his chopper to Santa Elena Canyon early this morning. He initially landed at the overlook where he met with a bunch of folks (didn’t recognize any of them).

After an hour or so he jumped in a vehicle and headed down to the entrance of the canyon. Couldn’t see him as nobody allowed in. They stayed about 1.5 hrs then off they went. (second video is them leaving the canyon - Scott is in the second suburban).

They flew up river thru the canyon towards LaJitas.
