How we ended up in Terlingua

Before we decided to buy property we took a trip to see if West Texas was where we wanted to settle. We actually intended to go through Big Bend National Park, and make our way up to Marfa to see the famous Marfa Lights. We spent the first night in Chisos Basin in Big Bend Park.


The next day we stopped in Terlingua to see Terlingua Ghost Town. We loved the area, and the people were friendly and very interesting.










While we were there we heard that they were having their annual Chihuahua races the following day. We never did make it to Marfa. We camped at a nearby campground and stayed for the festivities.








By the time we left, Terlingua had captured our hearts!
