My great great grandfather,great grandfather,& grandfather were from shafter. Took supplies marfa to shafter in a wagon with a team of mules.They left around 1917.We visited 2017.Also visited Presidió. Some of our family live there also.A lot of history.

I haven't been to Marfa in years but what a beautiful place. I love that high desert. And Fort Davis area is wonderful, thats where the observatory is, up in the mountains. Fort Davis is one of the best places to see the stars. The sky is so clear at night.

I live 26 miles from Marfa and drive there occasionally to attend mass there. Marfa is too hyped up, weird and too expensive. Presidio is a nice place to visit.

Been wanting to visit there... thanks John for the info !

Nice video. Thanks. BTW, it's not "The Giant" but simply just "Giant." Greetings from my country, California--San Diego, specifically. ✌️ Luis E. Ventura

We stayed in Fort Davis and drove to Marfa during the day. This is 100% accurate, and if you drive an EV, there is a destination charger for Tesla in both Fort Davis and Marfa, and a Supercharger in Alpine. If you want to go to Big Bend, there is a new Supercharger under construction.

November can't get here fast enough! I can't wait ,great video

Stop calling it THE GIANT!! It's just GIANT.

0:10 Pointing out that I do live there and this local hotspot of a coffee shop closed down.

Always a good video John, we did see what we call the northern light. My gg grandfather is buried in hope New Mexico. G grandfather is buried in artesia n Mexico.. Grandfather in central California. Thanks.

II hands II heaven by Beyoncé brought me here😂

Thanks, I’ll be at the paisano next Thursday!

I really like your video. The movie is called "Giant", not "The Giant". One of my favorite films.

Beyoncé brought me here lol

ITS NOT 'THE GIANT"........"GIANT"/ You need to take your POST DOWN and get your stuff half WAY CORRECT!

Marfa sucks. Very disappointing. Not a drinker and not much to do for my type. Alpine and Tarlingue are way cooler. Highly recommend those two towns. Also Prada is an hour round trip outide of Marfa. Not in Marfa.

Kind of giving a woke history of here, you forgot it was part of Spain first before it was inherited by Mexico.. I can go into full detail, but your history is completely wrong! Stop half assing it!
