MARATHON, TEXAS FEBRUARY 4, 2014

Traveling from San Antonia to Marathaon, TX on rt. 90.  Yet another border control inspection.

Note the 2 dirt roads on either side of the highway...this is where border control vehicles patrol for illegal immigrants.

A stop at the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center on rt. 90 about 30 miles west of Del Rio on the Mexican boarder.

Judge Roy Bean's actual bar & law office.

Sign over the the bar.

The bar.

We passed Dryden on the way to Marathon! That is Texas, not NY!

Marathon...population 1700

Only grocery store in town...very small

Only gas station in town...non-digital gas pumps


The neatest place in town....the Gage Hotel..pretty fancy place!

Interior of the hotel

The White Buffalo Bar & the 12 Gage Restaurant at the Hotel.

Inside the bar...note the white buffalo head mounted on the wall.

Beautiful sunrise from our campground the next day before we headed to Big Bend National Park.
