At the University of Sul Ross in Alpine Texas there is a hike. Aat the end of the far end of the hike is a desk. Why is it there and who put it there? Click here to find out. Pam and I hiked up there to see it. Here is a map to the desk. Fun hike and took some great pictures; we also signed the notebook that is left in the desk drawer. It is the Hancock Hill Hike in All Trails.

We went on a tour of these three towns. After Marfa, on our way to Valentine, we ran into the roadside art display from the motion picture “Giant” with James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson.
Then, we went to the Prada Marfa art exhibit. Again pretty cool.
Finally, we ended up in Alpine. Another nice town with lots of murals and artwork. We had a great Mexican food for lunch at a new restaurant (old El Patio). Very nice.

We arrived at this very nice RV Park in Fort Davis, TX. Simple park with full hookups for $25/day. We have a nice view out the back of the mountain range. That’s right, mountain range. We did not know Texas had mountains. We are at 5,200 feet above sea level. The temperatures are nice, in the 70’s and the humidity is much lower. Buster and Pam are fantastic hosts. A great location as a base to see the area. Big Bend, Marfa, Alpine, McDonald Observatory and so much more.

We also drove the 75 mile Scenic Loop through the mountains. Unfortunately, the McDonald Observatory was closed, but we saw a pack of wild Javelinas (pigs).

Pam and I stayed here overnight though Harvest Hosts. What a great place. We had a very nice wine tasting with Ken. He really taught us about how the wines are produced and a lot about wine making overall. Highly recommend stopping in or staying the night. We got a tour of the wine production and Ken let us sample a wine right out of the barrel. Sat outside and enjoyed a bottle of wine to end the night.

It is finally time to start heading North. Yesterday we washed the rig. Top to bottom. Really liked Long Island Village. Great spot and great neighbors all around.
Pam took the wheel for the first time. Did a great job driving for over an hour.
