I had a buddy at work die out there in Big Ben on his bike. It was at dusk and a deer jumped out in front of him and put his bike on the ground and slide into the rail IIRC.
Sorry about your co-worker MH. Lots of serious dangers in and around Big Bend.
Me and family visited, lodged and hiked in Big Bend about 5 times, years ago when the family was young. We loved it. Beautiful, but rugged, harsh, and very unforgiving. Great sunsets and stars were incredible out there.
You gotta respect it and be prepared for it. @Gylcomer can attest to this.
