If you knew anything about Marfa, you'd know it's up at 5000 feet
and has a quite moderate climate. The McDonald Observatory is
near by, although that's only interesting to people with IQ's greater
than a turnip.

Don't forget the Marfa Lights or the rapidly developing art community.

Golf course!

mmmm 60km south of Madrid is not 'Southern' Spain,
agree its a long way but people drive from the south
of England to fly at Aboyne, not much in travel time
between the two.

In adition.....do you know how Marfa,TX is from the
rest of the US?
Dare to compare it to the highway distances in the
UK? Would you like
to take a trip from Seattle to Marfa? How about NYC
or Boston to Marfa?
It might not be the most popular class but still......

Ok but the British overseas nationals attracted attracted
27 uk entries and that was held in southern Spain!

Jiminy, do you guys think this stuff up while waiting
at the dentist office watching it rain? If someone
wants to fly their glider in Texas, more power to them.
