I was down in 1969 after my stint in the army but a couple of guys from the Kansas City area was down there prior to me. Always in the Big Bend region was where we use to go and not so much of the eastern part but i do remember the Langtry area and staying at the old Chamberlin cabins ( cheap and very small but served our needs ). Here is some names of the guys that was there way before me : Larry Cass > his Father was from Australia and wanted someplace to vacation in that reminded him of some of the outbacks of Australia, Greg North > a professional photgrapher that went on to photograph for what I heard National Geographic, and David Hakke. These guys were all down in the early to mid 60ties. They are the ones that brought back an occasional " Davis Mountain Kingsnake ". My first alterna was in 1972 in the Lajitas area and on the way to Langtry when we stopped to " air out " our reptiles due to the heat of our old van inside, there was a German person in a little car that stopped by to ask us about our pillow cases laying in the shade. After he introduced himself about the first thing he asked us was where was our " grey and banded kingsnakes ". LOL ! You all know him by the one of the small publications of a book on desert reptiles.
