"My companions were elated to be back in the desert. I was overwhelmed. My skin cracked, needles stuck me, and the sun forced me into shadows at noon. I thought it was inconceivable for someone to really love that hard country, unaware that it had already gotten through my tender hide and had quietly seized my heart." ---- Photographer Jim Bones, Jr., on his first real trip to West Texas

Some Native American tribes referred to October’s Moon as the Full Hunter’s Moon as it was the time to go hunting in preparation for winter. This full Moon is also called the “Travel Moon” and the “Dying Grass Moon.”
This is the first Full Moon following September’s Harvest Moon. It rises just after sunset and sets around sunrise, so this is the only night in the month when the Moon is in the sky all night long.

You play like you practice, so practice like you play. It was in that spirit that medics from TFEMS, Big Bend National Park, Amistad National Recreation Area, and Border Patrol participated in four days of advanced life support training this week. The goal - to always be ready to give their best for their patients.

The Terlingua recycling program is full steam ahead - thanks for the support from the community. We could use your help with ensuring recycling items get in the correct bins (and that containers are well cleaned). We've had a lot of folks through town recently and while it's great folks are recycling, it's quite a bit of work to have to move things to the right bins before taking the containers into the recycling station. Anything you can do to help along those lines would be great.

Don't forget the Green Scene - October 22. They are doing a world of good for this area and we all need to support them any way we can. Remember - recycling takes little effort on our part, but makes a big difference to our world. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.Check out the Terlingua Recycles Facebook page.

The GREEN SCENE needs two volunteers to do arts & crafts with children at the festival on Saturday, October 22nd. Choose from either a gardening craft or a recycling craft. Volunteers get a free lunch and lots of warm fuzzy feelings! We need your help, so please don't be shy. Call Sara at 2950 or email  terlinguagreenscene@gmail.com today. And don't forget to buy your raffle tickets at Shot Time, Cottonwood, La Kiva, Terlingua Ranch Lodge, or from a volunteer!
