Never Too Late

If you live in or around Tarrant County, the Fort Worth Nature Center is a hidden gem. Lots of great hiking, wildlife, and great kayaking/canoeing. A boardwalk through a marsh is a great place for photographers and bird watchers. Great hiking from easy meandering trails through the woods to some strenuous tougher rock trails. A bison herd, and prairie dog town tops it off. Something for everyone in the family. What do you guys think? We give it a thumbs up for a great nature preserve in the metroplex!

Check out Palo Pinto Mountains State Park with us. The newest State Park in Texas! What a great way to spend a weekend in the Great Outdoors! This place has just what you need for a great weekend, tranquility, superb camping spots, great hiking trails, Tucker Lake for fishing and kayaking, wildlife galore, and great views. All of this, and it's just a short drive from DFW.

They simply cannot build structures like this anymore. Construction started in 1163 and took approximately 200 years for completion. The detail in the stonework is absolute perfection. And just listen to the Grand Organ fill the room with sound.

So we took a quick trip to Hot Springs National Park and found out this isn't your typical National Park. The city of Hot Springs is surrounded by the National Park and some of the city is part of HSNP. In places you feel you are in the wilderness but in actuality you are always near town. We stayed in the HSNP Gulpha Gorge Campground, nice and clean and if you get a spot that backs up to the creek you can have a peaceful flowing creek to put you to sleep.(who needs a white noise machine) Check into the history of bathhouse row, and the gangster/mafia ties to the area....very interesting. There are also fountains around town with the spring water flowing, some are hot, some are cool, a lot of people bottle it for drinking water. Cool place and we will be back to explore some more. We arrived just after the leaves had fallen from the trees so a few weeks earlier probably would have been spectacular. Looks like they do it up for Christmas so that is an idea also. Lots of stuff to do for the whole family.

First time I have ever seen a herd of goats with bells on their necks being led down a hill by a legit shepard. As we hiked up Mt Zues you could hear the goat bells at different times. Then a little further up.......donkeys wandering on the trail. Inland Naxos is like going back in time, lots of hard working people doing things the way they have been done for decades......

If you see a fork in the trail.......take it! That sometimes works in life too.
