Big Bend area. Love that part of Texas. Spent many a summer (50's, 60's & 70's) at my relatives place in Valentine. Still try to make it down there once a year. What town do you go to to buy ammo? If I remember right the only place back then my uncle and cousins could buy ammo was at a small grocery/hardware store in Marfa. They carried .22 LR, .38 Special, .45 APC, 30/30, 30.06, assorted shotgun shells and a few firearms in those calibers. They could have had more ammo than that but that's what I remember my Uncle buying. Was a 100 mile round trip. Sometime in the 60's they opened a Gibson's Discount Store in Alpine or Van Horn. Can't remember which as it was an all day excursion to either town to buy groceries. I do remember the Gibson's had cold cold refrigerated air. Miss those days.
You learn something new everyday. Years ago when I was in the military I did some training at Elgin AFB and in the Apalachicola National Forest. I thought, being from Texas, I knew what humidity was. How wrong I was.
