Past Travels




Most of our camping has been local. Huntville state park, Livingston SP, and Lake Conroe for day trips.


Our last big trip was too Hot Spring SP which is just wonderful, there was a bike show in town (wow what a hobbie), they have put a city inside the state park to get access to the hot springs. So you have hiking, biking, and nature trails up a mountain with a mile of each other. This is where you go when you want it all! Heck you can sleep in a hotel, get a massage in the bath house, hike up a mountain, shop and never go more than 5 miles from the center of town.

Going back a little

I want to let you know about how we used to travel.

Before the gas prices started going up I had a Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 whish I sold as the price of gas got to $2/gallon for a Scion xB which has better leg room front and back that the Jeep. Which made for less complaining on long trips from my 2 sons.

This is a great car! I can carry 4 yaks on it, 35 mpg and it looks pretty cool unless you have it all banged up from camping and yaking out of it. lol. The only issue I have is getting all the equipment into it! I wish I had a picture of the xB all loaded up with fishing equipment, coolers, etc strapped to the roof of the car! Another issue I had is the clearance of the xB this is me in Matagorta, Tx. If you havent been there it is a very wild area with few people








that are willing to get a dumb person out of the sand, but someone finally did!
We didn't catch anything this trip but it was very pretty there!
