The Wonders of West Texas

Martina and I recently traveled to West Texas, and on the first night of our journey, we camped in Monahans Sandhills State Park. What I like about Monahans Sandhills is that, were I to be teleported into the middle of it, I would think I was near the ocean or maybe somewhere in the Sahara.

However, Monahans Sandhills State Park is right up the road from Monahans, Texas, which is perhaps best known as the home of the now-defunct Green Frog Cafe from Guy Clark's "Desperadoes Waiting for a Train." It is also a place where folks go dune sledding, and no, I am not making this up. If you don't believe me, check out the video below.

And here it is. Empirical evidence.
