Even the courtyard is new. The food used to be excellent and the show one small picture of the dinning room. <BR/><BR/>What the pictures don't show is the view west to Alpine and East toward the Val Verde Basin. Sitting on the porch you face south toward Big Bend. <BR/><BR/>Its hard to describe how nice and quiet a place this is. Very relaxing.<BR/><BR/>We used to buzz down from Midland for a quick get-away. You could be at the edge of Big Bend NP in 45 minutes and then into the back country after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24114644582166203922008-01-13T05:29:00.000-05:002008-01-13T05:29:00.000-05:00The 5 years I spent between Midland and Big Bend a...The 5 years I spent between Midland and Big Bend are some of the happiest times my wife and I had. West Texas just gets in your blood.<BR/><BR/>If you go back, stay at the "gage" in mMrathon. That in and of itself is worth the drive. Just to kick back in the rocking chair and put the boots up on the rail and watch the sun set over West Texas and watch for the trains.<BR/><BR/>Look it up on the web Tam, You would trive there.

Did you ever see Blood Simple? It has seemed to me that thematically they've been wending back in a circular fashion to that story.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-31792837855127499852008-01-12T21:58:00.000-05:002008-01-12T21:58:00.000-05:00Downtown West.Downtown West.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-23868816794261734912008-01-12T21:43:00.000-05:002008-01-12T21:43:00.000-05:00Where's it still playing in K-town?

Sometimes the hero only gets to be road kill, heroically of course. Oprah recommended The Road to her audience but I never understood that, I didn't think she would have understood. Nah, too much of a stretch...Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794620086508373660noreply@blogger.com
