Who’s up for a little surprise road trip? I know I always am… sometimes maybe just a little too much surprise and not enough road trip, but hey.. So I approached Ed Saavedra Saturday night with a plan.. I needed to go out to the area around Marfa and the big bend region to do some shooting for a piece in my upcoming solo show “invisible houses,” at i2i gallery in March. As it turns out he was up for the trip. We decided to leave on Monday and come back sometime on Weds… soo traverse yourself along down old I-10 for about 6 hours and you hit the beautiful hole in the ground called Balmorhea . heres a photo.
this place was amazing. check out the waters.
i mean.. wow. the springs keep the pool at 73 degrees year round. just cold enough to be cold in the summer and just warm enough to be inviting in the winter. poor us, we didnt have towels of any kind and the sun was setting, so drip drying was out of the question as the winds started kicking up. Saying goodbye to the inviting waters we traveled onward to the Davis Mtns where we would camp for the night.. (click link below for the rest of the story)
