Go south towards Ozona. The big shallow playa lake there will have water on very infrequent occasions after real heavy rains.
Anyway the brilliant “conservative Republican” politicos in Ector and Midland Counties have each indebted them for nearly a billion dollars in bond debt and usury apiece.
Texas taxing entities owe a third of a trillion, maybe more.
There was supposedly lakes all over the whole area with fish and everything, and that’s why the oil is there today.
I don’t live far from there now since I moved back to TX, but haven’t been to Big Lake or Ozona in decades.
