ok I'll try again
Davis Mnt SP great place
McDonald Observatory - Visitor information, teacher workshops, public programs - Fort Davis, Texas A must do, both the day time viewing and the star party when you can look through the scopes set up outside. Dress very warm. Check the schedule for dates.
The old fort is also well worth the time.
the park itself is nice, some of the better spots are off the full service loop if you have large tanks or a portable tote.
In town there is a nice grocery store and hardware store if needed. The drug store has a nice fountain good for a lunch.
Watch the Javalina, starting around dark, they will make the rounds from site to site looking for anything edible and will try to open anything they can. Be aware, not usually dangerous unless spooked, very near sighted, will practically bump into you before they know you are there. Have been known to try and eat yappy little dogs (not such a bad thing) large sharp tusks.
have a great time
jk
