Words can't describe the feeling you have when you stay here. Terlingua House has a very quiet, secluded feeling while still being only minutes away from the best restaurants and local activities. It is equally comfortable for two and up to six or eight people. Its unique separate sleeping quarters and a separate kitchen give you plenty of space so you can enjoy each other's company and still have

the privacy and solitude you want. The kitchen is complete with refrigerator, outside gas grill, deep freeze, stove, microwave, dishes and silverware and a full size dishwasher. The kitchen is stocked with utensils and small appliances so cooking a gourmet meal isn't a chore. The property surrounding Terlingua House consists of 15 acres, including a great lookout point and a section of Long Draw running across one side of the property. It is easily accessible and easy to find along the River Road (TX 170). The night sky is absolutely gorgeous, almost as nice as sunrise over the Chisos Mountains. Don't forget your binoculars and camera. The scenery is art gallery worthy.

Terlingua House friends and fellow geology nerds! :)

- THIS IS A MUST READ!

--Sicilian Geology--

I just returned from a trip to Sicily, Southern Italy. I thought Terlingua House Friends might be interested in the geology.

The dominant force of Sicilian geology is the subduction of the African Tectonic Plate under the EuroAsian Plate. As Africa sinks down and goes under Eurasia (and Sicily) It carries water with it below the Earth's crust and into the mantle. The water (think of it in the form of minerals) lowers the melting temperature of the mantle and makes it more explosive - like shaking up a coke bottle. So the melting mantle material starts rising to the surface either mixing with, or not mixing with, the subducting plate and the earth's crust. The chemistry of what surfaces is based on the complicated melting and mixing.

The melted mantle material coming to the surface is generally referred to as basalt (buh-salt'). Basalt makes for good agricultural soils and the weathering helps to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. That removed CO2 ends up in the ocean to both increase ocean alkalinity (lower acids) and provide marine organisms the material to produce their calcium carbonate shells. a win-win thing.

I am working on a project to move West Texas basalt to East Texas leached soils to improve soil quality and as a consequence help to mitigate CO2 concentrations. The Aeolian volcanic islands and Mount Etna in Sicily are primarily basaltic, part of the trip was based on understanding both the natural chemical and physical weathering aspects of the Sicilian basalts.

The first impression was that Sicilian basaltic wines are a bit dryer than non basaltic wines. Perhaps more investigation is needed. Lipari on the Aeolian Islands is quite rural and beautiful. Taormina, near Etna, is very cosmopolitan. I recommend both.

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring, and I bet the waterfalls behind the house are pouring.

Like my take on the nursery rhyme?! 😂 All I know is we do like us some good Ol' Desert Rain! 🏜
