We traveled about 200 miles in a southerly direction to the Marfa Lights Viewing Area. We are boondocking 9 miles east of Marfa, Texas at a rest area that is famous for the light viewing. We left the Roswell Aliens for the Marfa Lights.
When we we got here we were the only ones here. As the people rode in in hopes of seeing the lights, another camper pulled in to boon dock.
We had a beautiful sunset and a gorgeous star gazing night. The stars are so much brighter and numerous when you are in the middle of nowhere. We were told by an Englishman that has been here several nights that we had the perfect camp spot for the light viewing. He said he had been coming the last couple of nights and had not seen any of the lights. Maybe tonight was the night.
We saw a few white lights dancing way off in the distance, then a green light close by. The Englishman said this is the first lights he has seen. Around 10 pm we went to bed with the shades open. We would wake and look out the window and go back to sleep. About 3 am Lauren woke me up. He saw multiple colors of lights dancing around on the horizon. By the time he told me to wake up, they were gone. At least one of got to see them.
