Terlingua


Today was a busy day packed up drove 25 miles pulled into another RV park and set up again. We decided to leave the park at 35 a night was just to much to pay and now we are only paying 28 crazy or what. We need to stay down in this area for 3 days because we are getting some strong winds for 3 days and north of here they are going to be way stronger. And I am not driving in crazy winds again. Tomorrow we are driving 17 miles and staying at a place for 17 dollars but we only get that price for one day so we will be leaving there and driving for 34 miles for a 11 dollar park for one night. Then the winds should be over. 


We drove down the road after we had lunch and we kept seeing these signs they don't put culverts under the road they just let the streams run right over the road wonder how deep it has to get before you don't drive threw it.



We were headed for this Ghost Town we had read about it and thought we needed to see it.


I guess a bunch of people have moved back to it Artists and hippies trying to find a place to hide. They say there are 58 people living here now. There is a few old junkers 



And some strange art.


I kind of liked this one.


Another beauty 



There is still a few old places still standing.


I have no idea why every one left. But it was a good size town you could see where there was ad least 40 homes at one time most are just the foundations left.


I think a preacher moved back because some one is fixing the church and the house beside it.



I think this guys car is worth way more than his house.


You have to love the cactus growing out the fender.


And you could rent this tent never checked how much. Some place Lara would love to stay.


Some poor guy lost his RV to fire it was probably all that he owned.


And then you have a sub coming up out of the sand.


Or passing wind the ship.


And this is our view from the camp site.

  1. Nice to keep moving if only a short distance too, the winds here yesterday were brutal.
    Travel safe.

  2. We were thinking of you both and hoping that you were able to avoid the bad weather heading your way. Loved your pictures. Shirley and Rob said that they were there and loved it! Actually, I think their favorite adjective for the place was, "funky". Be safe!
