Hello all, I'm new to this site and enjoy reading the posted scripts. My take on inviting the public to step outside is...c'mon, but respectfully. A recent outing to Daingerfield State Park reminded me of what scouting taught us as young'ns. Granted I haven't done any serious hiking since Philmont, NM in '70, but I really enjoy breathing the fresh air for a change and being content with the trails others before me had forged. Out of respect of my elders and respect for others who use the trails, I bent over (not something I'm accustomed of doing) and picked up several pieces of trash along the way and still managed to take quite a few snapshots of the beautiful surroundings. I enjoy sharing the good times, the wonderful sites, and invite others to do the same. Be mindful of our surroundings and what we leave behind while in the woods...or sagebrush. Also I like the fact that you cannot collect firewood from the State Parks anymore, it gives the trails a natural look and provides shelter for the creatures that live there.

Thanks for all y'all do and for hosting this forum.
