THE BUENO ADVENTURES /// BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK

When I heard Kelly and Tommy planning a camping trip one night I went right ahead and invited Jacob and myself. I mean it is part of my New Years resolutions to go camping as much as possible. I'm glad we went because not sure what the two of them would have done camping "Tommy Style" (really roughing it... I mean, we are talking rice a roni). The whole process was kind of comedic with Tommy thinking we could all fit with our gear in a small vehicle when in fact we barely fit in a huge truck. While we were making the list he thought we were crazy, but in the end he enjoyed our way of camping. It may be excessive but comfortable camping makes a huge difference.

Even though Kelly kept warning us, we didn't realize how cold it was going to be. West Texas Desert weather changes so fast. Our last night was the coldest and the wind was insane when we woke up, so we knew something not so good for us was on the way. Jacob couldn't even make us Breakfast, due to crazy winds. We packed up everything in a hurry and headed to Terlingua for some grub then decided to head to Marfa to stay with some friends. About 20 minutes into the drive and the temperature dropped to 16 degrees fahrenheit and everything began to ice over. Once we got to Marfa, we were hungry again but the town was pretty much closed because it was too cold. Thankful for Padre's and their yummy burgers. You can always count on a bar in bad weather conditions. People need booze when it's cold!

ON THE ROAD /// TERLINGUA (Ghost Town)

Driving to Terlingua from Marfa was so beautiful. Everything is picture worthy but like always you can't ever capture just how awesome your surroundings really are. We seriously would pull over every couple miles to take more pictures. This group of friends was perfect for this trip because no one ever got tired or annoyed with the cameras.

 Terlingua (Kelly's favorite spot in TX) is a ghost town that was once a small mining town. Now people just pass through on their way to Big Bend National Park or they come like we did for an Adventure. Some of the activities people come for are hiking, mountain biking, hiking, rafting, motorcycling, and KARAOKE! Well, maybe others don't come for the Karaoke but we are always down to belt out our lungs! We rented a house in the middle of nowhere, with no physical address and had the loudest night of our lives. I think we all lost our voices because this was the one time we could scream out into the open sky as loud as we wanted without worrying about terrifying anyone or causing a noise violation. It felt good. Really good. Have you ever done it?

I highly recommend adding Terlingua to your places to visit. Our Hashtag (Instagram) for this trip was #MarfaWeddingFiesta #SSMRT #HeadedtoMarfa #OOCOMG if you wanted to see more.
