WEST TEXAS ROAD TRIP (Terlingua, Marfa, and Guadalupe Mountains)

We just spent the last few days ghost town hopping across West Texas. Between the feelings of being a fearless character in an old Western movie, to dealing with skin as chap as the environment itself, I think we got the gist of what it’s like living in a small desert town. We’ll surely be back for the magical night skies and the seriously good Mexican food.
Follow along to see where we head next.

[@TheCuriousmitch32]

Was a lot of stuff open in Marfa? Heading there next week so thanks for doing the video!

[@ChadandClaire]

Seems like somethings were still open! Although we weren’t sure what to compare it to, since it was our first time. I think the museum no longer can be walk in, must make an appointment. Otherwise seemed open!

[@TheCuriousmitch32]

@@ChadandClaire Thanks y'all!

[@alexrizzo3522]

super random, but i loved chad’s yellow and blue outfit aha

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks Alex! I love it too😁

[@adventuresperspective4056]

If you go to elpaso you have to try chicos tacos it's a well known staple in elpaso

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks for the recommendation!!! We actually have already passed El Paso, but perhaps if we go back we can check it out!!

[@benmiles8161]

Great video! Would love to hear more about how you find free campsites and maybe drop a pin in the comments on where you stayed. Thanks for posting!

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Ben we use an app called “IOverlander” it works very well out west! The spot we stayed at beside the mountains was east of the city of “Las Cruces.” Its a great spot for driving into white sands. Only a 40 minute drive or so.

[@benmiles8161]

@@ChadandClaire Thanks we just started using it and love it. We stayed 6 nights in a row in Florida.

[@derykmacleod4979]

Well the temps should be going up for you guys as you get closer to Arizona. Upper 30's here in NJ bleh

[@asherwoodman8821]

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Asher! We love the Japanese vans! They are extremely cool. Good luck on your future adventures and possible van build. As always, thanks for watching!! 😁

[@jontsnow6180]

R.I.P Carlito's on MLK. Only true Savannah folks will know. Your video made me think of the restaurant

[@ChadandClaire]

I remember we went to Carlito’s our freshman year of school. It was such a great place.

[@DVaccarelli1988]

Marfa is actually a city, not a town.

[@Tom-gf3bp]

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍

How do u make money besides merch

[@ChadandClaire]

Haha currently we are doing this off of savings and making money however we possibly can. Hopefully we can start to break even soon.
