Mike Davidson moved to Terlingua in 1977 as co-founder of Far Flung Adventures, pioneer river outfitters. He spent the next 25 years outfitting and guiding Texas, New Mexico, California, Arizona, Mexico and Guatemala.
Davidson rowed many thousands of miles on the Rio Grande and other great rivers, introducing people to the wonders of the local landscape and history. After leaving the river business (but not the river) behind, one of his many many projects was to produce 15 museum quality road side interpretive exhibits scattered around Brewster County. This project required hundreds of hours of study, reading and research into the fascinating history of this area.
