I just wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who would be interested in a weekend backpacking trip around Lake Georgetown (The Goodwater Trail). A group of 5 of us met on another forum a year ago and inadvertently started a little Texas backpacking group called SimpleHikersInTexas while out on the Goodwater Trail. It was really more of a joke, but it stuck and we have been organizing weekend, weeklong, multi-weeklong backpacking trips and meeting some really cool people all year long.
If anyone is interested, go to this
link and select the Good Water Trail - it gives an awesome aerial view of the trail, btw! The plan is meet at Sawyer Camp. There are three ways to get to Sawyer Camp;
§ Cedar Breaks Park to Sawyer Camp (~6.5 miles)
§ Tejas Camp Ground to Sawyer Camp (~4 miles)
§ Russell Park to Sawyer Camp (~10 miles)
Everyone is just getting out there when they can. Some are arriving on Friday to try and make sure we get the site, I will be among the ones arriving Saturday and hiking in for the night, and there may even be a few day visitors as well. The group is only about 6 or 7 people so far. But if anyone is wanting to get out and meet some fellow backpackers and tell their war stories around a fire, this is a good group of people to meet!! You can't miss us, we'll probably get a little loud!! :cool:
Hope to see some new faces!
