Lost Maples Trip

This past weekend I went on a quick backpacking trip to Lost Maples Natural Area. It was a blast; I do call it a backpacking trip because we had to hike to the campsite. But it was only a three or four mile hike so it wasn’t a full on backpacking trip. Lost Maples is west of Austin by about 150 miles and is awesome in the since that it has east Texas vegetation with central Texas hill country put together. The trees are tall Maple trees as you expect and it’s just beautiful. There is also a ton on wildlife, mostly birds. So we got there on Friday and did the hike and got to our campsite around five. We set up camp made a fire and just hangout around the fire. On Saturday we went on hikes in the surrounding area to just explore and finished the day off with smores. On Sunday we went exploring some more in the morning and started to break down camp around noon and got back home later in the afternoon. All in all the trip was awesome and everyone had a great time and hopefully we can get in another trip before it gets too cold for my friends because it doesn’t stop me.
