Closed Webb Air Force Base - now the municipal airport & home to a prison
Oil refinery
Carbon black factory
A few decent restaurants
Prairie dogs.

That pretty much sums it up.

Sounds like paradise to me. Of course I hate most people anyway. The fewer the better.

I’m doing some oil and gas tech stuff. Hundred mile radius.... is there Mountain climbing or canyons to carve?

Nearest "mountains" are the Davis Mtns a couple hours south. You could do Guadalupe Nat'l Park a few hrs west. Some pretty tough hiking there...

Carlsbad Caverns over in NM...

No canyon carving in that part of the world.

Palo Duro Canyon is ~3 hr drive north, not too far from Amarillo.
I don't recall many outdoor recreation opportunities near Big Spring.
There is a decent aviation museum there, however.

Momma was born in Lubbock. So was her dad.
Might find a friendly soul or two let ya murder some pigs if they have em that far west.
They like good conservative boys who like rifles in that part of TX. At least me!

Haha! I'm 2.5hr East of big spring. Mineral Wells has rock climbing, like someone else said Palo Duro is cool. I thought there was another state park by Ranger also. Can't remember the name of it right now.

You can go rattlesnake hunting for recreation! If you fall,don’t grab anything ! Everything out there has thorns, even the pussy!

I don’t see ammo city anywhere!

 

[AIAW]

I don’t see ammo city anywhere!

Truth be know that's the entire state in reality.

 

[texastonk]

Worked and lived out there from 2013 to 21015. Not a lot to do. its a 30 min drive to midland.

Hotel Settles is a great place to stay. Good Bar "The Pharmacy" and decent food at the restaurant.
Comanche park on the south side of town off Hwy 87 is a decent time kill.
Hanger 25 Museum is neat. old planes. Its by the Air port.
that's about it.
