Where to Stay in Big Bend National Park
Chisos Mountain Lodge is the only lodging within the National Park (no Wi-Fi), but we stayed at Ten Bits Ranch- a solar ran ranch with a shared cantina/kitchen and dining space. There are plenty of rooms to choose from and all of the rooms have a gas fireplace. There is also a fire pit and BBQ grills you can use and trails on property.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
