Mountains In Texas?

Before leaving Seminole Canyon I took the guided tour down into the canyon to see some prehistoric pictographs. The tour was nice but moved slow (because of the geriatrics and the obese) but being down in the canyon was the best part, another very different view of Texas. Then west again, across the Pecos River to Langtry, TX. Named after "The Jersey Lilly," Miss Lilly Langtry, a British actress, by Judge Roy Bean, "The Law West of the Pecos." He was the territory's Judge and town's saloon owner, and he used the same building for both of his professions. Next, the Davis Mountain State Park, nestled in the Davis Mountains just outside Fort Davis, TX, elevation 5,050 feet.
