Aerial capture of Highway 169, 30 miles south of Marfa, Texas. To make it to the planned point of takeoff by dawn, I drove 21 miles of this lonely two-lane road in pitch dark. I saw not one single sign of human activity the whole way. It was almost enough to make this citified country boy believe in things that haunt our dreams.
