Greg;
Just found the Wild Texas site, although I have been a member of the Lone Star Hiking Trail Club for a couple of years. The LSHT group is mostly day hikers and I am interesting in connecting with bacpackers. I am retired, now living near New Waverly, and have the time and inclination. I have been a hiker/backpacker for many years and during the last year or so have begun refining my gear to fit the ultralight backpacking style. (I grew tired of carrying 55 pound packs - 30 pounds is much better.)
I am also a writer/photographer and would like to use those skills to document some interesting backpacking trips. Maybe we could generate some interest in a BCS (or Aggie) Backpacking group.
How was your spring trip along the LSHT? Have you planned any new trips? As we know, best time in this part of the state is before or after deer season, and after the humid-sweaty season. (LSHT has been swampy this early summer, but may dry up some in the fall.) Do you have any intrest in backpacking in Arkansas? (Ozark Highland or Ouachita? I've been on sections of Ouachita near Talimena, OK.)
Lets communicate. -- George
