[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2794741, member: 1039"] Everything 60-100 miles north is filled with drilling rigs, compressor stations, etc (I work in that industry so not complaining ). The park has been fairly well protected. The skies are still dark. For a while tourism was way up (too up) but it's getting back to normal now. Terlingua, sadly, has been infested with vacation rental owners. They've scattered old mobile homes all over the place and land prices went through the roof. It won't last. It can't... so places will be abandoned. The park was an Apache hunting ground. There's a faint trail that criss crosses 385 and continues past Fort Stockton 60-ish miles to the north. Pancho Villa raided there when people lived on ranches in the area. At one time there was a Cavalry presence. The history of the place is amazing. Geology too. [/QUOTE]
