Which camp site did you prefer Bush mountain or Tejas. Which trail leading to these camp sites was the best.

I am looking a a several day trip starting at Pine springs entry point. I want to make it to the Marcus camp site on the second night. I know I can go one of two ways, Bush Mountain (6.2 miles) or Tejas (5.5 miles) via blue ridge. Since I am not familiar with the area I do not know which trail provides what (i.e. scenery, elevation, type of trail, difficulty, etc.) I figure on the second night I will camp out at Marcus site then on the third day head to Dog Canyon (3.7 miles) to refil my water and rest my feet for a few then head to the Mescalero camp site (4.7 miles) for the third night. I am still deciding on calling it a day on the 4th day to make the 6.2 miles back to Pine Springs or stop off at Pine Top camp site for a final 4th night before heading in.

I will be driving from DFW so I figure we will head straight there stopping off at a motel for the night then get up early to hit the park when it opens. I then figure I will hit a motel on the last night to shower and clean up before making that long drive back. I figure 6 to 7 days for the trip. Any sugestions on trail routes and what each provides. I estimate leaving by the afternoon of Friday March 9th and being at the park opening hour of the 10th.
