Marfa TX – Valentine TX
Wednesday May 24, 2023
Woke at Cosmico RV park before sunrise. Too bad because my next stop is Valentine TX and there’s a whole bunch of nothing to do there. Cosmico is a neat park with all kinds of camping options from teepees to pastel travel trailers. Dutch hot tubs, rustic outdoor showers. Id definitely come back here if I ever get out this way again!
Figuring to drop in to Valentine late in the day, I got coffee at a shop in town, then got coffee and a burrito at another place, then returned to Cosmico, had a coffee, then packed up, then had another coffee. Thats a lot of coffee!
Finally hit the road about 11, and stumbled across the local grocery store. Out in these parts, if you find a store that has fruit… you stop for it ’cause you don’t know when you’ll find more. Soon, another half hour gone. (Half of that stuffing my face in Valentine TX – Sierra Blanca TX

Busted camp early. Didn’t want to get caught ‘doing nothing’ out behind the library, lol!
Lots of flat and straight desert, passed through Van Horn TX. There has to be at least 20 hotels there, but no restaurants. Weird. Ended up having lunch in the gas station deli. Food was good.
Sierra Blanca has a nice city park where they allow cyclist overnight camping, so there we are! …the parking lot with watermelon, strawberry, oranges, lol!)
Ok, now we are off.
Got to Valentine about 3 and… you ever make the mistake, when you were little, of …
