The restaurant and lodge will not be renovated when they are there. The closing dates keep getting pushed back. The restaurant is closed and the lodge is open but having water problems due to broken pumps. The basin is open. I hear that they are having a hard time getting bids due to the logistics of the remote access.

On mine, you pull the face strait off and the batteries go in it.

Not named after a Texas Ranger. Originally named Murphyville changed to Alpine. The Texas Ranger you are thinking of is Joaquin Jackson who lived here.

The Guadalupe Mountains are not near Alpine. That’s Dell City towards El Paso.

Jeff Davis, Brewster, Terrell and South Pecos Counties. Some in northern Presidio. I live just outside of Alpine in Brewster county. I see elk and pronghorn between here and Fort Davis most often. Now the mule deer. Damn, there are so many of them. I see them daily. They walk through town and have no fear of people. My buddy has 1100 acres, if I want some meat it is real easy. Not even hunting, just drive the ranch, see one, shoot it, done.

Check out High West Outfitters. Southwest Texas, My choice would be Brewster, Jeff Davis or Presidio Counties. Rugged terrain and beautiful. Take a Mule Deer off a Mountain.

There will be a long wait to enter the park during spring break. Also parking at the trail heads is limited. Get there early or you may not find a spot. If you stay in Alpine you can take the short hike up Hancock Hill and visit the Museum of Big Bend at Sul Ross. For lodging check out Chola Ranch Camp in Alpine.

She would get in the truck and drive to her favorite store. It is a drive thru where she gets treats. She would then come home put on my house shoes, sit in my recliner watch shows with animals and cuss at them.

You made me go look. 4 trailer wheels ready to go. Fits the enclosed and other. 2 new for the motorcycle. 2 for the dolly. But I also have a friend with a used tire shop. A story but hanging at the shop is interesting.
