Hello there! I've been watching the forum for a while and finally got registered a little bit ago and wanted to say hello to everyone.
My hubby and I are avid campers, backpackers, hikers, and just got our first canoe back in October. We've rented canoes for overnight (and longer) trips before, but just got around to getting one ourselves. I've studied wild foods and medicines all my life, love fishing, and anything to do with the water. He was bitten by the photography bug, especially when he got a new Canon camera for his birthday back in May, loves hiking / backpacking, orienteering, and we really just both love the outdoors.
I hail from more of the East Texas area, and know that area very very well, while he's from San Antonio and finds his heart in the cliffs and caves and limestone... but we both love everything we've found here in Texas.
Winter is driving us absolutely bat-poopy crazy. We want to go camping so bad, but its too dad-burned cold! I can't wait until spring so we can go camping somewhere, but I don't know where I want to go first. East Texas with the glorious pines or down into the hill country with those absolutely glorious rivers.
... Anyway, I digress. We have our own travel blog that we've kept for a few years of some of our travels. There's a ton of pictures on our flikr site as well (they're linked). I did want to say Hi to campermom though. I love your posts, and good lord you sound like us! I've been to every one of those parks, and love each and every one.
Ya'll have an absolutely wonderful day and hold on and dream. Just a few more months til warm weather again!!!!!
Brandy.
