We heard there was a good BBQ place (Brick Vault Brewery & Barbecue) in Marathon, TX, so we decided to go there for lunch.
The food was very good. We did try a couple of times while we were here to take a couple of selfies. After five or six tries, we finally got one without our hands in the way. Obviously, we are not very good at taking selfies. :)
Once we finished our lunch, we walked around town for a little while. We found out the old Gage Hotel, which was built back in the late 1920's by Alfred Gage, but is now owned by a Houston businessman, JP Bryan. He has restored the hotel and poured a lot of money into the town. Some people are happy about it and others are not.
After walking around town we drove out to a county park south of Marathon. It is a very nice park with a small pond.
In driving back to alpine from Marathon, we passed the small building you see in the picture. Unlike the Prada store front in Marfa, the Target store (complete with grocery cart) in Marathon was done by persons unknown. It is a tiny cinderblock building with Target's lettering and the bullseye logo.
It was another wonderful day!
