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.
You gotta respect it and be prepared for it. @Gylcomer can attest to this.
