Map Guy in TX

Just got back from hiking Herney Peak. Great hike. Great view. Great day.

All seven of us made it to the top and the dog too.

Went up via Little Devils Tower and came down via trail #9

I was at a place outside the park this weekend where the white river runs out of the park. The river is really white. All the clay from the hills breaks down and is carried as silt by the river. They say there are fish in that river but I don’t know how they live.

One of the most interesting things I saw this weekend was actual quicksand. We walked in it. Pretty cool stuff. At first you sink up to your knees and the longer you stand there the further you sink. The further you sink, the slower you sink. In the end, quick sand is quite easy to step out of.

Along with all the clay coming out of the badlands there is also a number of very interesting rocks. I found some bubble gum agate and some flint and a piece of fossilized wood.

Best of all, I know the guy well where we camped and we can go back there anytime we want to.

It’s my home. Born there, all the family is still there.

Probably be buried there.

I would love to go back there.
