How about from Homer Wilson to the Smoky Creek trail? Many thanks, Steve

According to Laurence Parent's Hiking Big Bend National Park, the Smokey Creek Trail begins 2.8 miles east of Homer Wilson, and the Mules Ears Trail junction is 8.5 miles to the south. I haven't been out that way in a long time, I really need to try to get back to Big Bend. I expect the springs are probably in really good shape right now.

I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. -Soren Kierkegaard
