Reply to "Marfa, TX"

Good to see some more of West Texas. Born and raised in Midland, before move to Houston and humidity in '67. Anyone else remember Lake Balmorea? Good fishing in the '50s and '60s before they drained it, never let refill. Great place for a kid to catch catfish and buffalo. Marfa, always a nice town, like so many in Texas. Great folk and atmosphere, both kind. Spent several summers attending the BSA camp North and a little West of Marfa, closer to the McDonald Observatory. The lights.... Have seen them, many moons ago. And, no, they have not been fully explained. Native Americans, Apache, and settlers made record of seeing them long before cars and headlights arrived. And trains.... Watched many a train when traveling Hwy 80, long before I-10/ I-20 existed. From Sonora to El Paso... beautiful country, and now many vineyards. Could go on about seeing Carlsbad caverns, visiting family in Jal, N.M. Etc....

Thanks, Robert.....
