Our Plans Change When We Find Out Some of the Roads Are Icy







Eric & I left Big Bend National 
Park and headed toward
McDonald Observatory in
Fort Davis, Texas.












The sky is grey today.











We drive the
Texas Mountain Trail.








We enjoy the changing
scenery.








A Park Ranger at Barton
Warnock Visitors Center
tells us that the roads are
icy near Fort Davis.



It's time for a change of plans.  We'll stay at a rest area near Marfa or Alpine tonight and head for El Paso tomorrow morning.









We are driving Farm Road 170
 close to the Mexican border.













A US Border Control truck is
parked at the side of the road.











These picnic sites are neat!








A section of the Rio Grande 
Valley lies below.









Eric stops at an overlook.








We continue west along
the Mexican border.








This is a new sign... 









After we drive through
Presidio, we turn north.









Eric drives carefully as we
head north to Marfa. 











We pass a US Border Patrol
check point.









And arrive at Marfa,
population: 2.121.
