Martin's BDay trip with Chris & Sophie - Midland, Alpine, Marfa, Fort Davis & Fort Stockton

April 6 to 9, 2023

These pages were initially created to transfer photos from traditional scrapbooks to the internet in order to both preserve and make the pictures and history available to family and friends. It has become more extensive than I intended. However, I see it as a way to save the details before they slip away. Martin T      ©2023 Theophilus
