Yes and the pool is gorgeous. Clear, deep, and huge catfish lazing about.Looks promising simple, quaint and no BS. Just as the desert should be.
Rode out to Apline this past March. We stayed in Alpine but didn't go down into Big Bend. Dining in Alpine was limited. There was a good place to eat on the west side of town. Check out the Historic Fort Davis. I found it interesting. We also went out to the McDonnell observatory. I want to go back for a night viewing. Dining choices in Fort Davis were more limited than Alpine.
This is looking across the parade ground from the enlisted barracks to the officers quarters.

McDonald Observatory is cool to see. Catch a star party if they are offering one. Also for Big Bend, don't go below 1/2 tank fuel.
Actually the Tower Of London Armory would be very cool to check out and the various museums
Tower of London
Some of the most important objects in the Royal Armouries collection are showcased within the White Tower, the central keep at the heart of the Tower of London, built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century.The Tower of London is a world heritage site cared for by Historic Royal Palaces and...

I'm used to the desert weather
but going in November.
I've been through the areas several times but never stopped anywhere.
Saw a dead bear on I-10 a few years ago yeah I went back to check it knowing it wasn't a hog and sure as shit it was a yearling black bear it kinda intrigued me to get back out there but shit always happens. So I'm going now.

You also can go visit the London Bridge in bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.United States. When it was built in the 1830s, it spanned the River Thames in London, England. In 1968 a guy bought it and had the exterior of the bridge transported to Arizona.

Most of my time there will be for the Carrol Shelby History I was hoping to one day run my Mustang out there but it looks like I'll only be getting a couple Shelby inspired Terlingua stickers.
Terlingua is ok - but it's gotten kinda "hippi-ized." Definitely do the Ft. Davis tour. The star parties at McDonald are pretty cool - You'd have to check, but they used to be open Friday nights where you can look through some big telescopes. One of the most interesting things we did out there one time, was taking a jeep tour of old mining sites - we used Far Flung Adventures in Study Butte. It was pretty cool to drive around and get some of the history of the place. It was full-tilt cinnabar mining for a while. Reata restaraunt in Alpine is pretty good.
