Ooooh spooky!
Mission: Scare Cynthia and Barbara to death on our way to Marfa
Method: scary ghost story
Results: they were scared...
Angela: When it gets darker I'll say that I feel very cold, I'll say that I think I see something to the right like a blanket, and then you "remember" and tell the story. I'll say that I have read it in one of these ghost sites. Hwy 67...
Melany: Something about how there was a truck with illegals that was caught??
(5minutes later...after much thought)
Melany: Woman died? What story?
Angela: Hwy 67, she wants a ride, people in the car can feel her presence...
Melany: More real though...since we are so close to the border, maybe an illegal woman running with her baby?? Both hit by a car?
Angela: Maria!!
Note: this was all created through a series of notes passed between Angela and Melany who rode quietly for 30 minutes in the back...
ps: we actually spooked ourselves...we were that good.
pps: this part of the trip is just now being disclosed to the public...aka...cynthia and barbara (we hope)

How it all started...
Melany got a tidbit from the website "Austin Tidbits" that featured Marfa as the ultimate girl road trip destination, a getaway weekend was just what the doctor ordered. After reading the first paragraph of the article (below)...who wouldn't want to head west?!
"Itchin' for a road trip? The world has caught on to the historical and cultural "little town that could" nestled in the Chihuahuan Desert. The seven-hour trek is worth it to experience the beautiful West Texas mecca that is Marfa." - Austin Tidbits
