Took a vacation into West Texas a Month or so ago, and here are some of the pictures. Mostly Big Bend and Fort Davis area.







I have quite a few more and will be posting them one or two at at time going forward for those that are interested.

Thanks

They have done a lot of restoration at Fort Davis....I was there in April, and enjoyed it a lot, since I hadn't been there in several years. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics! I lived in Marfa for 3 years and miss that area.
Did you take any photos of Marfa? If so, I would love to see them. I hear the area has changed a lot in the past few years.
Thanks for sharing!
