High Sierra Bar and Grill , Terilingua, TX

Roof top seating overlooking miles and miles of wild West Texas near the Big Bend National Park.

Five young twenty somethings at a holey worn metal table.  Four have on shorts and hiking boots and one has on short shorts and flip flops.  JJ is telling his life story of being raised by a grandmother and a mother who has several children by different fathers.  They are all drinking beer in mugs and half-heartedly listening to JJ’s tale.

The hefty Mexican bartender comes back up the stairs to where we are all sitting and ask the 20 somethings if they need more drinks .
