LOCATION: Marfa, in SW Texas
WEATHER: Still cold, but sunny. Highs about 50
We left Alpine, passing by Big Bend Brewery where we had done the tour.
Marfa is only a short drive, 35 miles. We were here last year, and loved it. It is a cowboy town that is also an artists' colony. Some benefactor has created an art foundation here. Almost every building is also an art gallery. It is also known for its historic hotel where the cast of the movie "Giant" (Rick Hudson, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor) stayed while filming the movie.
There are only 6 campers in the RV park, 4 of which are Air Streams. Downtown, there are several Air Streams converted to food trucks.
We rode our bikes into town to explore dinner options. Unfortunately, not much was open. Several places are only open starting in March. So, we came back to the campground. Everything is laid back here. This is the office where payment is on an honor system.
There is a nice commons area with a fire pit.
Inside, there is a kitchen area with an old-fashioned wood stove. George grilled pork chops on top.
We listened to the trains running next to the campground all night long.
DINNER: Along with the porkchops, we had a salad, and beans and rice.
