Winkler County, Texas
Winkler County sits way out in West Texas, part of the Permian Basin. Oil is the lifeblood here. Kermit, the county seat, has seen its share of booms and busts. It’s named after Teddy Roosevelt’s son, believe it or not.
The landscape is harsh. Beautiful, but unforgiving. Monahans Sandhills State Park is nearby. It’s like a little Sahara in Texas. The population’s small so it feels like everyone knows your business.
But they’ll also give you the shirt off their back if you need it. High school football is like a religion. Dust storms can turn day into night. It’s not for everyone. But for some, it’s paradise.
