Scenic, historic Ft. Davis (4 miles away) has the old fort (a national historic site), shops, fuel, Hotel Limpia (looks like their restaurant would be good), a nice bookstore. 30 miles to Marfa; we enjoyed lunch at the Squeeze Marfa restaurant. Lots of galleries there, and Hotel Paisano, headquarters for film stars during the filming of Giant.
