Mystery Solved

If I am remembering correctly, several issues back, there was a story about hunting in Texas. There was a picture of a shoe store in the middle of nowhere that the author mulled over but couldn’t explain.

Here is the explanation:

National Geographic did a Zip USA article on Marfa, TX a few years ago, but I couldn’t find it for free on their website. Great article you posted, thanks!

Your welcome! I am surprised that someone hasn’t come out with the issue/article I was wondering about…

Maybe I’ll have to dig in my old issues.

Mr Graf

It was in “Winter Respite” By TJ Conrads, Apr/May 12.

I had mentioned that the locals { I hunt and Have friends in the area], all said what your article mentions, and Mr Conrads did also { He originally – of course in the art }. Marfa has become quite the little art colony. Not exactly what one would expect for the “Blood and Thunder Reputation of the Big Bend of Texas.
