The family owned property near Hamilton Pool (something like 13 lots, in total, plus designs on three or four more. Feels almost like a Risk game, everyone has their armies poised to take the Ukraine! Got to build those buffer zones between the family and the not-family) has not yet been given a definitive, official name. Some names thrown about: Marfa East, The Ranch, RagnaRanch, Southpocket, and probably others. I call it the Land of Many Names, but I doubt this will catch on - too wordy and the initials don't really work either (LoMN).
I suppose each plot owner should have their own name, but the entire compound should have an overarching name as well. Naming is power, and we are all lovers of language, so am confident something will percolate out of our subconsciousness soon.
I took over 200 photos over the weekend, some of which might even be interesting. Haven't had a chance to look at many yet, but here is the first batch.
Grad Party
Impetus (one of, at least) for my trip.
Yurt Slab
16 foot by 16 foot pre-existing slab on my land (apparently using “4-bag” concrete). I am strongly considering placing a yurt on it. My mother sits on an edge for context.
Protector of Marfa East
near Hamilton Pool, Texas. Artists Honoria and Knut, I think. I forget what these things are actually called though.
Lake Park Dr and Lake Beach Dr
home-made street signs lead the way
Deer Creek Ranch
the turnoff to the Land of Many Names, off of Hamilton Pool Road (FM 3238). Deer Creek Ranch is an inane name, isn't it?
