This is the view from the porch outside my cabin at the Marathon Motel. I got here yesterday for a quick weekend get-together hosted, as always, by Ty and Kate Fain. Their New Year's Eve parties -- when they and their Merry Band throw the best bash in the Big Bend -- are legendary, and this weekend is a summer version of that gathering. About 20 people are here, hanging out during the day and eating, drinking and making merry in the evenings.
This afternoon a large contingent went down to the Post, a county park five miles south of Marathon. The Post is like a little osais in this semi-arid country. It is luch and green, partly because there's been so much rain out here. While we were out there, a little storm washed over the area, freshening and cooling the air.
Tonight we'll have dinner, and then some musicians will entertain us for the balance of the evening.
UPDATE: I've posted some pictures from the weekend on Picasa, here.
