Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
I'm open to that possibility.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
I have seen things like the Marfa lights, which are a light phenomenon, along with what you could call the Saratoga light or the, the ghost lights of Bragg Road, also here north of Houston, Texas.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
Um, but I've never seen any strange thing like Bigfoot, uh, or these other cryptids, uh, here, and I, I would say that, you know, while I've been out to the field and been to these locations, a few of them, uh, may still have something.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
I just wasn't there whenever they were, uh, around.
Julie GilbertGUEST
What is it? Now I'm blanking.

And I think that people, they see that, and it resonates with them 'cause it feels very real.
Spencer CathcartGUEST
There's this famous sculpture art project in Marfa, Texas, of a Prada store, and it's just in the middle of the desert.
Spencer CathcartGUEST
There's this Prada store, and it's like a little bit smaller.
Spencer CathcartGUEST
It looks very real, but it is also kind of, you can tell it's not too, and it's what makes it so weird is like the context and the like little bit of surrealism to it.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Just enough that I could walk to the edge of it and feel like the edge was mine.
speaker_2NARRATOR
I found the 11 acres in February, listed through a Marfa Realty outfit that clearly hadn't expected anyone to want it.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Caliche soil, scrub brush, a scattering of lechugila that'd gut your shin if you walked through it careless.
speaker_2NARRATOR
No water rights to speak of.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The price was low enough that I drove out the same week, stood in the middle of it and watched a roadrunner cross the far edge of the property like it owned the place.
speaker_2NARRATOR
I bought it anyway.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Highway 17 runs south out of Marfa toward Presidio, and my turnoff sits about seven miles down, marked by a rusted cattle guard and a post with no sign on it.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The drive takes 11 minutes if I'm not stopping, which I usually am.
Blythe RobertsonGUEST

Blythe RobertsonGUEST
Marfa.
Blythe RobertsonGUEST
Yeah.
Blythe RobertsonGUEST
And then he, I don't know, I'm like reading the, I'm like in the Condé Nast book hole where like, you know, Graydon Carter's memoir just came out.
Pati JinichGUEST
The, the second one is a cooked salsa, where you would boil the ingredients, and the third method is a roasted or charred salsa verde, la salsa verde asada, where you throw all of the ingredients onto the grill or under the broiler, and that gives a rustic, smoky feel to the sauce.
Pati JinichGUEST
So in Mexico, you would say, "Do you want your salsa verde cruda, cocida, or asada?" Well, I was in the Rio Grande Valley traveling towards Marfa.
Pati JinichGUEST
In Marfa, I met this incredible chef, Mark Scott, and he had a salsa verde which combined the three cooking methods.
Pati JinichGUEST
It had raw, boiled, and charred tomatillos and chiles and garlic, and it blew my mind.
Pati JinichGUEST
It was so delicious, and that in central Mexico would be heresy when I was growing up.
speaker_11AUDIENCE
That, that was in 1965.
speaker_11AUDIENCE
We were up near Marfa, M-A-R-F-A, Texas, on a, oh, about a 200 acre ranch.
speaker_11AUDIENCE
And, uh, the next day we were down playing chase around the dam, and it was my turn to chase the other two.

They were on the what I call the left side of the ranch.
Harriet WaghornGUEST

Harriet WaghornGUEST
Like from Austin, it's like a seven hour drive or you're coming from, I don't know, LA, where was it? I can't remember where I flew in from before, but it's just, it's just in the middle of the desert.
Harriet WaghornGUEST
So like everybody there is just so committed to, to being there in that space.
Harriet WaghornGUEST
But I think there's not that much there, which is part of its beauty as well.
