Dallas to Fort Davis

April 2026. We decided we wanted to see parts of the Big Bend region that weren't in parks named "Big Bend." Fort Davis seemed like a good base, and I won a couple of nights in at the Hotel Limpia in an online auction for Marfa Public Radio. Now, the good thing about Fort Davis is it's only most of the way to Big Bend. It is a really long drive - and while there is a beautiful back way (on US-67), the Interstate is just faster - which is the point of the Interstates. 

If I had the time, I would find a halfway point (like San Angelo), and do a two-day drive on US-67, but we didn't have any extra time for this trip, so I-20 it was. 

Last time, we did the drive to Marfa in one day, I swore I would never do it again. However, much like the people that always fly in to their cruise the day they sail, sometimes, time just gets into the way.
