MARFA,

Texas is a destination huge in intrigue for us and one we planned for early on in designing our "2017 Travel Tour."


This town is in the middle of nowhere.  This is a strong reason we wanted to come to MARFA.
The unusual unfolds to us. 
Artists, Hollywood types, and adventurers are drawn to this art community created by New Yorker: Donald Judd.  


This hub displays huge outdoor installations 
like the ballroom: a building enhanced for musical venues and festivals.  


Marfa radio KRTS broadcasts a public radio format.

1955 James Dean on set here in film: 'Giant' starring Liz Taylor.






The "Tumble In" RV Park includes all the amenities with self-check-in at the tiny trailer at the entrance.  
Living alongside the railroad tracks, there is a comfort we are on the right road.

Prada Marfa is a sculpture by artists Elmgreen and Dragset a couple miles just off U.S. Highway 90 and 25 miles NW of the city of Marfa.
We could usually find Karen and Larry at the Horseman's Bar:  Basketeball Season on ON!

March Madness!!!
