Bend Region - Rio Grande River Road - By Guest

Nice write up, but your map is incorrect. The road from Study Butte to Presidio is labeled at 117, it should be 170. I was there 12/4/2010 and have a few tips. Once away from the bigger towns of Alpine and Marfa ... gas is available in Study Butte and Presidio. Plan accordingly. There is a bank with an ATM in Study Butte. Bring cash, this area hasn't quite caught up with the digital age. Be sure to visit the Study Butte store, its a step back in time. And they have premium gas for those who need it. The Starlight Theatre in Terlingua doesn't open until 5pm. The ghost town cafe in Terlingua serves up a decent burger. Presidio is a bigger town than I expected. Plenty of services and 24 hour gas.
