I am back! I was actually back last night. Let me tell you, it is a mistake to go camping or hiking in Texas in the middle of Summer when it is 107 degrees outside. Here are some choice pics from the trip.

| Me and my lovely staff! |

| The bigger path. |
 |
| Indian Grass, native to Texas. Looks like wheat. |
 |
| Briars from off my shirt. Took me 2 hours to pick off |
 |
| Tent! |
 |
| The smaller path |

| Sun setting, artistic photo? |
 |
| When I looked behind me, I saw the Moon. She took my breath away |
And since this outing was a religious outing, I hiked a bit from camp and made a food offering. The bug in the picture was obviously unplanned. The circle was made from water.

| But it looks so cool! |
And then... I got scared and chickened out. There had been coyotes howling near camp and sounded like they were getting closer, and being a city slicker all my life I spooked. The food may have been a mistake, but it felt good anyway. Plus, ants had infested my tent. Argh!!!
However, there was a distinct feeling of sadness or regret while leaving, like I was missing something important. I smack myself now. Argh!!!!
I've done the camping Texas in 100+ degree weather! It isn't my fondest camping memory, but sometimes the urge to be outside in Nature is just too great to ignore, despite the heat.
