West Texas

This morning finds us in the small West Texas town of Marathon (pop. 413).

We seem to making a habit of visiting post offices in small towns and finding the nicest people and places. Yesterday we found the historic Gage Hotel and the White Buffalo Bar LINK .  We visited with the bartender “Ci-Ci”, and some nice folks up for the weekend from Odessa, TX. We had a couple of great Margaritas made from fresh squeezed lime juice, Yummy.

We spent the night at the Marathon Motel and RV Park.  This is a very nice place with restored cabins and a beautiful courtyard.

It’s on to Del Rio today where we are thinking of spending two nights to get a break from the road, although the drive has been very pleasant and not difficult at all.

 

More Later,
