This it an insane radar presentation for #houwx.

Then he would have loved Big Bend.

These vertical rocks are in Dog Canyon, in the area where the Ouachita (Appalachian) and Laramide (Rocky Mountain) orogenies meet.

Yeah it's not a cult and this is not weird.
A screenshot of Google maps showing "Trump Burger of Bellville." Bellville is a small town to the northwest of Houston, Texas. There is nothing weird or cultish here.

Pinto Canyon Rd, Chinati Mountains, Presidio County, TX. I wish I had had a vantage point where I could have avoided the power lines. At least they are not overly intrusive. #fujifilm #photography #landscapephotography

Try Kruto! They use Ukrainian grain. And, like Tito's, it's also a Texas distillery.
