Rattlesnakes, Tarantulas, and PRADA?! | West Texas Road Trip Pt. 1

  • After two days living in a hotel in the middle of nowhere (Fort Stockton, Texas), I made my way through West Texas by way of Balmorhea, Fort Davis, and Marfa. I found all sorts of hidden gems and also had my fair share of West Texas wildlife (not really the kind I like to see 😬). Eventually, I found myself driving the Mexican border to the town of Terlingua, a ghost town, where I camped for the evening.

      Never sleep in an abandoned building. They come at night. Creaking at the window. At 12:01 a.m. If it turns cold, they are there and never reach beneath the bed.

    Came across your videos just by pure chance. Thought I'd watch one just to see what a young lady does living out of a 4R. I have to admit, I got completely caught up in your lifestyle. It made me wish I had the sort of occupation that would allow me to work remotely, so I could do the same, at least until I exercised the wanderlust out of my system. Well, I'm much to old now, and have deep roots that keep me in place, but that's ok, that's the plan God seems to have for my life and that sits well with my soul. I get to enjoy what you share with us, all your adventures and challenges and you're easy-going nature; it's all beautiful and I want to thank you for allowing me to come along for the ride. You're brave, bold and beautiful and I have nothing but respect for you. Please, be safe on your journys, and God bless you young lady.

    Marfa & Big Bend National Park are pretty amazing - Alpine as well - Last time I tried to go stop by Balmorhea State Park it was closed for renovations. It’s amazing when you realize how high altitude it is out there.

    Colorado was as my #1 pick for state side army duty because I too had those magical feelings about the mountains. Got that duty. Loved Boulder.

    Okay, So the Prada store intrigued me…Ends up it is considered a piece of “Land Art” put together in 2013 by the “Art Production Fund”. It is not a functioning retail store but they did get permission from Prada to use the logo etc. Probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen.

      It is a really cool installation! I met the man who donated the land. He was actually cleaning the windows. He has been there since 7am and I probably showed up around 2:30ish. Great guy. And very patient!

    I believe the fenced in area used to be a solar generating facility which was there in 1997 when I visited while in town to deliver a large boiler for a 30 acres under glass greenhouse that was built to grow tomatoes which I think is still in operation.

    One thing you will need to "plan" for before you drive into Mexico. Your standard car insurance does not cover you in Mexico. You need to add on , if available, or purchase separate car insurance.
