A Day In Terlingua Texas

I guess it has been a while since I have posted here. Close to five years to be exact. Much has changed in our lives including our move to the Trans Pecos, Big Bend region, Alpine, Texas, or whatever your flavor might be. Karen and I also bought a small plot of land down in the Terlingua, Texas area.

The land is nothing to brag about but it is quiet, the air is remarkably clean and we enjoy going there from time to time, which we did today. We had a relaxing time kicking rocks around on the property, cleaning up around the east entrance gate, just off Hwy 118 South, and meeting one of our neighbors, Al from Canada.

 Karen and I keep talking about building a small cabin on the land so that we have a place to sleep when we go down to Terlingua. Al from Canada inspired us today as we spoke with him to continue thinking about building on the land and really taking advantage of the property. You see, Al has build a number of structures on his property, the most recent of which is a two-story building that can sleep several visitors. Not sure I will consider building a two-story structure but a small cabin would be nice. And, of course, some sort of privy.

 time will tell

Karen found these snack boxes for us to eat at the property.  In case you are looking for something tasty for hiking or other outdoor activities, this might fit the bill.
