We arrived at the RV park Monday evening and got settled into our site.  Tuesday we mostly hung around the trailer, but took a short drive in to the town of Terlingua TX.  Mostly it's a ghost town.  This is a very desolate area with very few businesses and very few residents.  There used to be mercury mines in this area back in the 1930's and through WWII.  We stopped at the Terlingua Cemetery which has many grave sites with absolutely no identification.  Attached to this blog is a picture of one of the finer dining establishments here.

All I know about Terlingua is that !Viva Terlingua! is a great Jerry Jeff Walker album. Hope it lived up to the hype.
