Terlingua Tx and McDonald observatory
If your ever near either of these it's some worthwhile ridding and scenery.
I met my running buddy in Marble Falls Tx late thanksgiving evening we rode to brady that night slept at Richards park.
Made the ride to Terlingua the next day it took all day via almost all back highways. Took 170 across to Presidio the next am got some lunch then up to the McDonald observatory. Spent the night in Fort Stockton.
Sunday we had to split up did 510.3 miles back home in ~9 1/4 hrs.
A few iphone pics i never claimed to be a photographer.
Met a few interesting people on the road and had a great time.
Oh yea watch out for bighorn sheep as well as deer. Thought the bighorn was going to take me out.

Nice ride! (Looks a bit cold, though..)
I rode there in March 2011 and it was obviously a LOT warmer..

There are some strange sights in Terlinqua...
BTW, we almost collected a feral hog on the way out of town a bit before dawn. Scare the bejeezus outta me..
