Strange Towns in the Big Bend - Terlingua

One of the "big towns" located just east of Big Bend is Terlingua. Established as a mining town, mecury, I think.


These days, it's main claim to fame is hosting the Texas Chile Cookoff in the fall and the Cookie Chilloff in the spring. Kathy's Kosmic Cowgirl Cafe was, unfortunately, closed when we arrived. I was wondering just what Graham Parsons, the original Kosmic Cowboy would've thought about this place. I figure he'd probably get a kick out of it.
