Wedgely greetings! You have somehow found Texarrakis. There are a number of ways this could have occurred, none of which are important to mention. It doesn't matter, and now you are here.

TEXARRAKIS is a yet to be fully realized Fort Awesome, on a five acre plot of land, deep in the desert lands of far West Texas. It is not and will not be THE Fort Awesome, just part of a vast collection of Fort Awesomes around the world. Here is a brief and incomplete pictoral list of other examples of Fort Awesomes.

Two years ago, twelve of us drove from Boston to far West Texas. Recently, we spent two and a half months out there. Despite not achieving full blown Fort Awesome status as we would have liked to, we got pretty far. I would say right now it could be designated as Remote encampment status.

this is a sliver's view of our encampment. you may click the image to see the whole photograph.

We put up a few rudimentary structures, lived out of tents and cans of beans whilst enjoying the spectacular, vast natural beauty of the Chihuahuan desert. Of course, we ran low on money and had to leave, in order to work in The City to earn enough money to get back to Lobo Valley, and to maybe try to upgrade TEXARRAKIS’s status from Remote Encampment. At least to the status of Homestead.

So here we are then! In the meantime, might as well maintain this website, right? Maybe do something with it, or something. Rebuild and expand the library (I recently had to rebuild this page from scratch), write articles and have some active blogs. Get photos and video up here, as well as stories from our experiences. Or something. Who knows.

In the meantime, please enjoy these sections:

And, the media has things to say about us, for some reason:

FOR THE VERY WEDGE
