Going camping for my scuba certification was the first time
I went camping since the week before school started. It reminded me of how much
I loved it. Growing up my family would go camping or backpacking at a minimum
once a month, sometimes twice. As me and my sister got older we slowed down to
the point were we only went 2 or 3 times a year in 8th and 9th
grade. That’s when I took over and started to go camping on my own with friends
in high school monthly again and having weeklong trips during the summer. Then
college started and it just all stopped. This past weekend I went on 2 day
hikes in Austin. One at the green belt and one at the wild basin wilderness
preserve were my mom worked when I was a kid. It was awesome to be outdoors and
enjoying the wilderness again. On the green belt I would stop and rock climb
when I saw a cave or boulder I was having an awesome time. So this next weekend
I already planned a trip to lost maples natural area in east Texas. I’m going
to leave on Friday and stay 2 nights. The place were you have to camp there is
3miles away from were you park so it’s a short backpacking trip so I cant wait.
I’m glad I’m getting back into one of my favorite pastimes.
