Historic mining ruins are nearby, but all private and some occupied. The private road that accesses Abuelo Loco is shared by local residents that value their privacy and respect yours. You are welcome to walk a quarter mile up the road to the top of Townsend Bluff, overlooking Terlingua Creek. Do not approach the edge of the bluff the ground is unstable. The road takes you past two private homes. However, please do not continue down the road to the old mining settlement. Restored mining ruins there are privately owned, and the area is NOT open to the public. Just down the hill, on FM 170, is the business operations center for Big Bend Vacation Rentals, the company that manages the property. Other Things to Note: Please respect our local "dark sky" initiatives to reduce light pollution and preserve our world class star gazing. Please conserve water, but not to the point of inconvenience or discomfort. If you have questions, concerns, or problems during your stay, please contact us. We will be eager to assist you.
