We've been to SLRSP several times. Search thru the old posts on the regular part of the site. It's a real gem.

Half the fun of camping is the people you meet. You really get to spend time visiting with them, there's no rush due to scheduling conflicts, soccer practice, business meeting, etc. The other thing is that camping is something me and my son will remember forever. It's nice to share it with folks who've never done it before. It's like "Camping Evangelism". We brought a friend of my husband's to Lost Maples last February and once we'd reached the summit of the East trail, I think he had a "top of the mountain" experience. He said it was the best time he'd ever had. He'd never experienced a weekend like that. We camped, it was freezing, we hiked, took a late night walk in the full moon, listening for animals, and I made him do all the dishes, how could that be the best time ever?

We'll have some first-timers this weekend also. Should be great! The report might not be posted Sunday, we'll see.
