Presido to Marfa, TX

We visit Fort Leaton which was a fortified trading post from 1854 until the early 1920's.  It is now a state historic site.

We resupply and refuel and head for Marfa.  This brings us out of the Rio Grande basin and onto the Chihuahua Desert.  In Marfa Peggy visits Wild and Woollies, a knitting store for a new set of needles.  We take an RV site in Ft. Davis.

Mitch's curiosity as to what's behind those doors?
