75-mile Scenic Loop on Hwys 118, 166, and 17, including a stop at the McDonald Observatory

Places to stay:

Veranda Historic Inn
Harvard Hotel & Lodge
H.E. Sproul Ranch

There's more, but that's a snippet. Any of these real standouts or losers?
 
ah troy, just go to Marfa. That way you can get up in a Glider!
 
Go stay a couple of nights at Cibolo Creek Ranch

Nicer than the law allows. The runway is paved (do not believe the falsehoods on Airnav about TS15).
 
I've got an October trip planned for Cibolo Creek Ranch! Can't wait!
 
If anyone comes be sure to call me up - lunch on me - and I will give more details on some of those establishments...
Looking forward to the article, that mag makes me yearn to travel.

The article says they covered Marfa, specifically, in a late 2006 issue... that was before I started subscribing...
 
I really enjoy the Ft Davis area. Makes a great 3 day getaway.
