I wad there 2 weeks ago. We stayed at Pat O's place in Terlingua Ghost town..
Tuesday: We drove in from DFW, literally taking the scenic route through Presidio and back over to Terlingua. We ate in Terlingua at that Bar-grill with the colorful lights, forgot the name. It was ok..
Wedensday: woke up early and went to Chisos Mtn lodge, hiked Emory Peak via Pinnacles. It was amazing. I did not do the last 25 feet up top.. it was windy and I found that to be a bit unsettling. We dined that night at Starlight theater. The filet was great, and the chili was solid..
Thusday: Back to Chisos mountain lodge, and we hiked Lost Mine Trail. This was probably my favorite trail of the week. I couldn't believe we were still in Texas seeing some of those views. We left and drove the Ross Maxwell scenic drive and back up Old Maverick road.. my check engine light had been on but after the washboard roads on Old Maverick I guess it vibrated off.. so that was nice.. We ended up doing a raft tour on the State Park side that was pretty cool. That night we ate at Long Draw Pizza.. it was great.
Friday: Chisos again and The Window Trail early in the AM. Boquillas in the PM. I insisted on getting Burros and not horses and that was a fantastic decision. Mexico was a great experience, but I personally wouldn't be interested in going back on a return trip.. The food was solid though, we bought lunch for Lupe who was our guide. 4 dollar beers and 9 dollar Margaritas didn't really scream Mexico to me, but I guess they can charge whatever they want. That night we went back to Starlight.. the band was awesome, the singer sounded pretty damn close to Loretta Lynn..
Saturday: Breakfast Tacos at that place by starlight.. they were amazing. Then to Lajitas for golf. Absolutely the best golf course I've ever played. Wife got a massage right as I teed off and met me at 9 with 2 coolers of beer. That night we ended back up at Long Draw Pizza.. good once again.
Great trip. If you love Texas it will make you love it even more. What a fantastic place.
