Marfa, Texas

gather east of town on Highway 90 at a special parking area created just for the purpose
of viewing the famous Marfa Lights. Legends of the Lights predate the white man and cannot
be explained by any of his inventions. A great site to see actual video is: http://www.marfalights.com/gallery.html
