If you follow the blog you know we have a weakness for Apaches. Just google "autoliterate" and "Apache" and you'll see. We also appreciate the alertness and sense of adventure that long trips in old trucks demand. Especially trips to Texas. I first saw Marfa through the windshield of 1952 Chevrolet ex-grain truck, making the long haul from Banff, Alberta to the Rio Grande back in the day when you could still get breakfast at Carmen's. I remember it was February, I'd never been out of Canada in the winter before, and it was 62 degrees (F) at 9 AM on the sidewalk in front of Carmen's. Stunning.
You've seen this truck on the blog before. Belongs to Sean Wilsey. I first read about in a Diary piece Sean did for the London Review, about the first of many trips the Apache has made between Marfa and Brooklyn.
