probably be an improvement.
I know I should go to Google Earth or something but I'm quarantined in a vault atm. This is north and west of big bend is it not?
More like straight north. The Davis Mountains are awesome.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat. That area is the best part of Texas and its not even close.
I know he was being fac ious, but as far as cleaning up the area, I'll bet he is right. Go back in about a year or two when everything has grown back and it will probably be twice as nice.
Marathon and Alpine are awesome
Its mostly shrubland so thats true, but any park infrastructure that is damaged might take a long time to fix in today's fiscal climate. Also, the McDonald Observatory is there as well.
What he said.
i didnt know rocks and sand are flammable
I was born in AlpineIt's a beautiful area.
This thing isn't over by any means...they are expecting winds to shift from the west and kick back up later this week...
Yeah, Springtime is wind time in West Texas and NM. I leaned that last year and it can get ing CRAZY out here. Hurricane force winds are not unheard of. Thursday is the next day we're supposed to get some wind but it should not be as bad as Saturday was.
Someone should carve that into a Sphinx!
+1
in beautiful out there
Yeah, I go out to north of Marathon every Memorial weekend to a 25,000 acre ranch prairie dog hunting. Winds during the day of 25-30 mph are the norm. Makes taking 400-500 yard shots pretty interesting...
I tried to look at the hi res MODIS from today but its cloudy over the fires.
So sad, my most favorite place in Texas!![]()

Amazing picture.
I was just looking over my pictures of the last time I was at the McDonald and everything looks so green. It was actually at the end of Summer too. I think it was in 07 but maybe 08. Everything there is dry dry dry now.
Word, I just got back from Tatooine
