We have really been enjoying this part of Texas…very unique…Alpine is a charming little town….has a Texas State Univ called Sul Ross….Dan Blocker …Hoss on Bonanza played football here…he was Bob’s favorite 1950s TV character….note his signature hat in photo that is at the Big Bend Museum….also loved the old fashioned diorama…..Bubbie’s BBQ was delicious…we stocked the freezer with brisket….Next pic is me in our cozy bed….Also found a fabulous observatory as it is dark out in these boonies….has the 4^th largest telescope in the world….interesting factoid….in 1967 two guys from Penn State decided to make a telescope in a cheaper manner….theirs cost 20 million....but standard telescope cost 140 million……everything is relative….also went to Fort Davis….a National Historic Site….built to protect the Santa Fe-San Antonio Trail….
