Órale, the onda this week in Caló is Limpia, AKA, Fort Davis. The name comes from the creek that runs down the Davis Mountains through Wild Rose Pass toward Toyah and Balmorhea. While limpia is the word for clean in Spanish, it also means washed or swept away, which is what a steep grade creek does to its valley. As the raza settled along the valley instead of the town that grew up around the old fort, they focused on the effects of that creek instead of Fort Davis and came to call the area Limpia.
