(24,780 posts)8. That means if you get hurt
The hospital in Alpine, 100 miles away, can only do so much. If it's serious, they airlift you to Midland 250 miles away or 4 hours by car. My wife had an accident in Terlngua. Turned out she was ok, but you can find out real fast just how remote that place is.
Still, I told my wife if she goes first, I'm selling everything and moving there.
