And, for the more adventurous, on a no-fly day there's a little blacktop
road that heads SW out of town. Stay on it after it becomes a dirt road.
You'll see spectacular mountains, an adobe building ghost town, and there's
an OK swimming hole when you get to the Rio Grande. If you follow the signs
to Chinati Hot springs, you'll be treated to a little commune of 60's
throwbacks living along a small creek canyon fed by hot springs. Stay
awhile and have a nice hot soak, but don't eat the cactus or smoke anything
with them--sailplanes are much better for flying.

If you knew anything about Marfa, you'd know it's up at 5000 feet
and has a quite moderate climate. The McDonald Observatory is
near by, although that's only interesting to people with IQ's greater
than a turnip.

Don't forget the Marfa Lights or the rapidly developing art community.

Golf course!
