We visited west Texas last July. From the lush cool Davis Mountains over to desert ghost town Terlingua as well as the border town of Lajitas. Lajitas is a golf course resort town in the middle of the desert, essentially a stone throws away from Mexico. The locals are so relaxed around here that they have voted in a goat as their mayor. Yes, I said a goat, Clay Henry III is his name. Terlingua is an old mining town with not much to it. Some old decaying homes, Terlingua Cemetery and the Starlight Theatre. I can't wait to go back during the cooler months of course. Lajitas
