Over the weekend I spent a day at Pedernales Falls State Park, just west of Austin, TX. It’s quite beautiful there.

Final Thoughts

Posted by Eris on 5 August 2013, 6:36 am

Saturday, August 3, 2013 Well, I’m back in Crosby.  (It’s a suburb of Houston, for those who don’t know.)  I’ve always thought of it as a compromise, since being on the edge of a rural area it is much less “citified” than Houston itself, but after the state parks of this past week I drove …

On the Waterfront

Posted by Eris on 5 August 2013, 6:05 am

Thursday, and Friday, August 1-2, 2013 (With apologies to Marlon Brando.) Thursday morning I packed up early, left Hunstville and drove down to Galveston Island State Park to spend a couple of days at the beach.  The ocean has always been very therapeutic for me, and my stress has been so high these past few …

Resting and a Few Photos

Posted by Eris on 4 August 2013, 6:30 am

Tuesday, July 30, 2013 This was a down day for me.  The blisters and soreness and cramps simply could not be ignored.  Mostly I stayed inside and slept, but for a while in the afternoon I set up a chair by the lakeside under the trees and just sat and watched the lake, the birds, …

Predator and Prey

Posted by Eris on 3 August 2013, 2:54 am

Monday, July 29, 2013 My hike proved to be a little more than I was really ready for, as it left me with two blisters on my right foot, chafing between my thighs, and a general soreness and stiffness that left me really not enjoying the thought of moving around too much.  So the following …

A Small Goal

Posted by Eris on 30 July 2013, 5:10 am

Sunday, July 28, 2013 I’ve been to Huntsville State Park a few times before.  It’s conveniently close to Houston and the land is extremely pleasant, so for a few years it has been my first choice for any short overnight trips.  However, I’ve only ever been here before on one or two night weekend trips …

Road Trip

Posted by Eris on 28 July 2013, 3:42 am

Saturday, July 27, 2013 I got divorced in April and since then I’ve been working to get my life back together.  Today marks a miilestone in that: I drove away.  Since the divorce I’ve still been living with my ex, first in a separate bedroom, and recently in a 32-foot motor home parked on the …

Sheldon Lake State Park

Posted by Eris on 14 August 2012, 8:14 am

Here’s a typical walk along a trail in a state park: You enter the trail and admire the foliage on the trees around and above you. You hear the sound of the wind rustling the leaves, and there are frequent bird calls providing a pleasant sonic accompaniment as you walk along. You sometimes catch the …
