Hello all, I am new to this board, but there are many names I recognize.

This is a shot of the Chihauhau Desert and the Christmas Mountains. The shot was taken near Telingua, Texas.



Regards, Dane

Thanks for the warm welcome! There's a story behind this image. A buddy of mine was over at the house one day and I was browsing Ebay. I came upon an auction for 5 acres of land in West Texas. Just for grins, my friend and I put a very low bid on the auction. We ended up owning 5 acres of Prime West Texas Desert (hereby to be known as the Boneless Chicken Ranch). We figured we might as well go look at the land so we took a drive out there. We were taken aback by the stark beauty of the Chihauhau Desert. The land is barely worth what we paid for it, but now I can always say I own a ranch in Texas.



My son, Joe on the Boneless Chicken Ranch, Terlingua, Texas.

Hey! Don't knock it! Certain of those tumbleweeds make great cores for trees for a model railroad!

Just search "Texas Land" on Ebay...you will be amazed.

Also, I know of a bridge in Brooklyn that's on the market if you are interested :lol:
