Re: Lost Maples In August

Unfortunetly, a couple showed up at about 12am and picked the campsite right across from us. There were about 28 empty sites, and they picked the one right across from us. I'll never understand that logic. They were also very loud for the rest of the evening into the weeeeeeeeeeeeeee hours of the monring, but what can you do? I was pretty dissapointed that our isolation was pretty much destroyed due to a lack of comm'on sense.

The problem you encountered is one of the best reasons to take up backpacking. You simply walk away from the crowds. And the backcountry campsites in state parks are usually separated for reasonable solitude.

But you have to crawl before you can walk. Meaning, you have to develop your camping skills and your hiking skills (e.g. blister free hiking) separately before you combine them into backpacking.

It sounds like you're on the right track. :cool: Welcome to Wild Texas and enjoy our great outdoors.
