lost maples
we let the GPS chose the route. we used "shortest distance". this took us down TX FM 16 most of the way. this may have been shorter but it added an hour to our time. the roads were STEEP and TWISTY. kat said it was worse that CA HWY 17; her old commute between santa cruz and silicon valley.
watermelon shaker helped us to settle into the campsite after we arrived hours later than we planned.
she just wanted to read her book inside. the airstream really is a nice home on wheels.
we hit the trails the next morning
some wildflowers along the trail.

a nice stop at swimmin hole #2
swimmin' hole #3 for the day.

look how smug he is about dropping in that piece to seal his victory at connect four.
