World Class PW-5 Contest at Marfa, TX

- Still there is plenty to do in Spain besides gliding, try visiting Marfa - nothing but you, unberable sun and rattle snakes. 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. |

World Class PW-5 Contest at Marfa, TX
And, for the more adventurous, on a no-fly day there's a little blacktop
road that heads SW out of town. Stay on it after it becomes a dirt road. You'll see spectacular mountains, an adobe building ghost town, and there's an OK swimming hole when you get to the Rio Grande. If you follow the signs to Chinati Hot springs, you'll be treated to a little commune of 60's throwbacks living along a small creek canyon fed by hot springs. Stay awhile and have a nice hot soak, but don't eat the cactus or smoke anything with them--sailplanes are much better for flying.
