FM (Farm to Market) HWY 170 E out of BJ’s RV (kudos to Bud & Irene Dreisen, Milton & Nell Mow) to the Fulcher Road on the right onto the Fulcher Ranch.

All of this between the Terlingua Ghost Town area and Study Butte, 90 miles below Marfa – Alpine – Marathon sandwiched between Big Bend NP and Big Bend Ranch SP.

The Big Bend Area, Brewster County, Texas ~ Chihuahuan Desert, the Rio Grande River Valley and the Chisos Mountains

We rode the recumbents back the Fulcher Road past Rio Aviation at the Fulcher Air Field, down to the first ‘Y’ in the road, Joe Moss Road to the right. Joe Moss road paralleled Terlingua Creek on our left. According to the local ‘chatter’ Terlingua Creek was/is a cross border commerce and trade corridor from back in the day that gets some updated use as well. Joe Moss Road began to narrow down some and displayed ‘tongue in cheek’, we hoped, no trespassing signs the further we rode. It remained ride-able for fat tire bikes including our recumbents right out to the last house. The multiple barking dogs turned us around right quick. At some point we left Fulcher Ranch and were on other property. It would seem that everybody out the Fulcher Road and the Joe Moss Road lives off the grid: An admirable undertaking and accomplishment!
