4th of July in Terlingua Texas

The 4th of July has always been a big deal for Lupe and his family as they are a large Military family. Being in Big Bend we could not find anything to do in the area that was not less than a 2-hour drive.

With that in mind, we decided to drive to Terlingua and get a drink and do some grocery shopping. When we pulled up to Cottonwood our local grocery store (1hr away). We saw a bunch of people lined up for what looked like a parade.

After talking to the two funny older ladies that work in the store we found out more about the parade and its route. Luckily for us, the route went right in front of the liquor store. 

The Parade was only about 5 minutes long but we were so happy to come across it.

After the parade, we went to dinner at High Sierra Bar and Grill
