alt Hacker NewsMarfa is an amazing little town. I was there 3 months ago; while it is out of the way, even as a visitor, everyone is nice and genuinely there to provide an amazing artistic experience. If you ever want to experience the actual weird, southwestern, cowboy country, go to Marfa. And have a drink outside this public radio station. It's quite a nice getaway.

My wife and I had our wedding in Marathon which is in the other side of Alpine. We both love the area and my oldest son is named Jett after James Dean’s character in the movie Giant which was filmed in and near those towns. Did you find the pay phone in Marfa that just plays Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off through the handset? Hah it’s a magical desert out that way.
I actually go there every year for a generative art festival. It’s a surreal and awesome spot for sure.
Don’t pass up Marfa Burrito, just off Highland Ave. Gigantic and extremely good. It’s a cool town on the edge of nowhere.
Yes. It is pretty wacky. And while it looks like quiet the EV charging desert on paper (the nearest Tesla charger is in Alpine) but by springing for RV sites in Big Bend and Terlingua we made it work just fine. EDIT: My only regret was going during spring break season. It makes for some very nice weather, but during those two weeks or so, the handful of restaurants in Marfa are overwhelmed.
