Just so it might feel a little more like fall, we headed out to Lost Maples State Natural Area to find some fall color. Leaf-peeping in South Texas just doesn't hold a candle to PA or New England! We joked
that Lost Maples really refers to the trees, not just the maple variety...
But we did see some nice color (more than anywhere else here), and had a great hike of about 4 1/2 miles. Katie walked the first mile all by herself. When it got to the steep part, we made her get in the backpack on Dave's back (he volunteered for the exercise). She was the envy of almost everyone else we saw, especially on the steep sections.
On the way home we ate dinner in the town of Bandera, self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World". Katie was pleased to see that the man at the next table had worn a cowboy hat. :)
