Terlingua Ghost Town cemetery, November 2, 2012.

Dia De Los Muertos celebrant at the Terlingua, Texas cemetery on Nov. 2, 2012.

I’m returning to Terlingua this All Hallow’s Eve to document, this time on video, the annual Dia de Los Muertos ritual at the Terlingua cemetery. Despite the presence of a thousand or more CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) celebrants, Terlingua is full of good folks who are best at minding their own business–and throwing a great party.

Me and my crew are staying at the Villa Terlingua guest house with hostess Cynta De Narvaez.
