Looks like lots of great advice. Another idea, visit Alpine and then tour McDonald Observatory and catch a Star Gazing night (check their website). Also a state park at Ft. Davis that has FHU.

If you stop at Seminole Canyon SP, check on the availability to hike to the White Shaman indian pictograph site. Enjoy the trip!
