	The Desert-Mountain Times :: Boquillas: From tourist boom to bust amid border closings: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Boquillas, which is a rough five-hour drive from Melchor Muzquiz, the nearest city in Mexico, depended on the park for life’s essentials.
		Boquillas seemed like a great place to consider one’s legal options, and Danny Hickle, the last of the seven to leave, stayed four years.
		Boquillas, which never has had electricity despite its proximity to the United States, now is silent, dark and fading.

	The Desert-Mountain Times :: Crossing the Rio Grande to help Boquillas residents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Located on the Rio Grande near the nouth of Boquillas Canyon, the town of Boquillas depended heavily on the flow of tourists from Big Bend National Park before the "informal" border crossings in the region were closed in May 2002.
		Boquillas is now home to about 35 families, down from the 45 or 50 families that lived there prior to the border closing.
		About 25 men in Boquillas are members of the Diablos, trained firefighters who work both in Mexico and in the United States, and the firefighting work provides a vital, if sporadic and unreliable, source of income.

		Esta boquilla implementa un diseño que toma las ventajas del principio venturi para arrastrar o inducir el agua desde una línea de baja presión hacia el torrente de aire y abrasivo.
		La cabeza de boquilla para sopleteo húmedo le ayuda a acondicionar una boquilla estándar en una boquilla para sopleteo húmedo; es práctica y económica, sin embargo, tiene el inconveniente de no lograr el control del polvo totalmente, teniendo una supresión de polvo aproximadamente del 50% al 60%.
		Elaborada en aluminio, cuenta con prisioneros para montarla a la boquilla; además se conecta directamente a una toma de agua o a un tanque elevado, ya que no requiere de otro sistema de presión adicional.

	Texas Travel Guide - Big Bend National Park, Boquillas Canyon
		Boquillas is not as deep or sheer as Santa Elena, nor as rugged as Marsical but is still very impressive.
		The Approach: The canyon is in the far southeast corner of the park along road 118, past the Rio Grande campsite and a turn-off leading to an unofficial border crossing to the village of Boquillas del Carmen, Mexico.
		The path along Boquillas Canyon is on the south side at this point so another crossing is required, followed by negotiation of 20 yards of thick bamboo growing in the sandy streambed and climbing a 15 foot dryfall.

	TrevinoAbstr
		The sharp contact between the Boquillas Formation and the underlying Buda Formation in the vicinity of Del Rio, Texas marks a significant sequence boundary in the Upper Cretaceous.
		The lower Boquillas consists of hummocky cross-stratified, lime grainstone, packstone and dolostone with allochems of planktonic foraminifera, ammonites, calcispheres, and Inoceramus fragments.
		The lack of benthonic fauna and bioturbation and the presence of scattered pyrite in the lower Boquillas suggest that sediments were deposited under reducing conditions.

		Hiking paths in this area include the Hot Springs and the Boquillas Canyon Trails, plus there are several longer routes into a region of mountain wilderness to the northeast.

	Boquillas Canyon - Rio Grande (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Boquillas Canyon at 33 miles, is the longest canyon trip in Big Bend National Park.
		Trips are usually done in three days, but four days allows adequate time for sightseeing and is preferable at low water levels, which is most of the time so far during the mid to late nineties.
		Boquillas displays a greater geologic variety than its upstream relatives, the river winds between vertical walls and steeply eroded valleys with incised hard rock streambeds.

		That Boquillas keeps its resentment to itself is unusual in this part of the world.
		"In Boquillas we no kill gringos," one of the locals told me in 1995, just after the second violent incident, in which two Americans who lingered after dusk were attacked near the river.
		The well water is excellent in Boquillas, far better than the water across the river at Rio Grande Village.

		The resulting difference in body size between yearling and older age classes was great at Maple Canyon and at Grapevine, which forced yearling males to delay reproduction until they had grown to a size to compete successfully for breeding territories.
		However, Boquillas yearlings and age >1 yr lizards were much more similar in size, and many yearlings were able to acquire breeding territories.
		At Grapevine and Boquillas, females similar in size to breeding females at Maple Canyon did not breed in May--June and instead grew and were reproductively active in July--August.

	Boquillas Canyon Sand Hill
		A parking lot is within a mile of the canyon entrance and it is any easy hike for all the family.
		The sand appears to have poured from a hole in the cliff about 100 feet up but it actually was blown in by the wind from the surrounding desert.
		Beside the view of the canyon cliffs, the river, and the little town of Boquillas, Mexico, (visible from a high point on the trail) the main entertainment feature is the sand hill.

		It met at the parking lot at the entrance to Boquillas canyon, in the southeastern part of the park - another corner to explore.
		The Boquillas Canyon was a good place to meet because there were many mortar holes - deep holes worn in the rock where ancient people ground mesquite beans and other grains into flour - scattered around.

	Big Bend: Structural Features
		Many of the cliffs in the Big Bend area are actually the result of faulting that occurred in the park shortly after the mountain building episodes that created the Rocky Mountains.
		The layers of rock on the left hand side are in a vertically lower position than those on the right.
		Many different faults can be found scattered around the Boquillas area, all aligned to the north/south, meaning that there was a east/west tensional force on the Earth's crust at some time in Big Bend's geologic history.

		I was part of an eight-person group that had a great trip through Boquillas Canyon on November 24th-28th, 2003.
		Boquillas Canyon has very tame rapids, most of them being narrow turns against a river bank that more appropriately can be called riffles instead of rapids.
		The Boquillas Canyon area is more eroded than the other canyons in Big Bend, so the rocks formations are really interesting and colorful.

		Since we would be going up the Deadhorse Mountains, descending into Boquillas Canyon, coming back up (to the rim only though, as I had not known), back down to the river, back up and down to the trailhead.
		After the trail fork for the north and south forks, we saw a few burros, which we were later told had escaped from Boquillas, Mexico.
		When the border was crossed due to "September 11" precautions, the Mexicans ran out of business and the owner of the burros (who transported tourists to Boquillas del Carmen) decided to let the burros loose.

		In more relaxed times, for a couple bucks, a person could catch a ride on a small boat across the river to Boquillas, a small outpost with decent food, good beer, and righteous music.
		You know, it really is quite sad to hear about the supposed closing of crossing points in Boquillas and Santa Elana.
		Certainly it is possible (and actually quite easy) to cross into Mexico and visit Boquillas, but the Park Service maintains that it is illegal to re-enter the U.S. at that point.
