Tourists from the West Texas Chamber of Commerce observed a flash flood on Limpia Creek en route to McDonald Observatory. The Alpine group, led by State Patrolman Jean Pate, waited at a creek crossing for about an hour while the flood subsided. Martyn Krebs explained the 82 inch telescope and noted a coin operated tour tape in English and other languages. The observatory opens to 200 visitors monthly, weather permitting, and is part of the University of Texas. A social hour at Indian Lodge followed with local officials and Marfa Chamber of Commerce representatives. The report also notes lush Fort Davis area scenery and a Lions Club ad for Frank and Theo Matthews moving to McCamey.
