The Hiking/Camping/Backpacking Thread

except the trails leading up to the UT campus female dorms....

 

Well, that's of no use to me.

 

Probably will be doing this. Need some mushrooms so...

 

my bumping will be relentless you smug texan bastards

 

wait so you are driving?

 

chisos mountains and santa elena canyon are must see/hike. Juniper Canyon Trail gets you to the south rim of the chisos. Hike the boquillas canyon trail too.

 

yes. WHERE IS GARTHOK

THIS IS WHAT I PAY FOR

emaw beats texas again I see

 

HOOSINSC

 

HOOSINSC loves him some weed cookies

 

almost as much as HOOSINSC loves illegitimate children creation

good genes

 

don't even care

 

where the fuck is HOOSINSC

 

dropping baby HOOSINSC off at daycare

 

doubtful
he gets his bottom bitch to take care of all the errrands

 

Ive never hiked it. Ive canoed it 3 or 4 times but its not a super outdoorsy trip, more everyone getting really drunk/high and laughing at everyone who tumps over while all their stuff floats away.

 

while that sounds fun, definitely not what we're going for on this trip

 

HOOSINSC doesn't know what to do with all these alerts.

 

I come from good stock. That's what my granny tole me

 

He is being held as a ward kind of like Theon Greyjoy

 

does this mean he's being tortured by the bastard of bolton?

 

garth garth it rhymes with barf

 

nooooooooooooo

 

it felt bad to even joke about. he is probably reading this.

mickey if you roll through houston and im still alive, i will buy you a beer and some oysters. its been a pleasure posting with you gentlemen.

 

trust me when I tell you, do not take tyler's children up on his offer.

 

and just what is that supposed to mean

 

Ditto everything The42Yardstick said. In the Chisos Mountains I'd specifically recommend the Lost Mines trail. Not an overly taxing hike, can be done in a few hours, and the view at the top is

Things that make West Texas awesome:

-Big Bend
-Marfa
-Balmorhea
-Davis Mountains/McDonald Observatory

 

Marfa. Weird little art community not far from Big Bend that has developed over the years. There's literally a Prada store there in the middle of the West Texas desert.

Lots of people move there from NYC, and you know, do stuff.

 

dafuq is Marfa

 

art in the texas desert because reasons

 

Marfa used to be a tiny ranching town out in the middle of nowhere. At some point in the 60s/70s a bunch of hippies from Austin migrated out there and turned it into an artist colony of sorts. Donald Judd, a major figure in the American minimalist art/sculpture/architecture scene came out there and legitimized Marfa as an artist haven. It's now kind of an eclectic mix of crusty West Texans and hippie artisans. Lots of shops, art galleries, awesome restaurants, neat hotels, and a farmer's market. It has a certain appeal, and even if it doesn't strike your fancy, it's worth a stop if your'e already out that way.

 

and the "lights" of Marfa.....

 

marfa sounds okay.

 

Need some recommendations for Packs (50L probably) and pack tents that will do 2 plus a dog and gear comfortably.

 

hello there. how much do you want to spend?

 

You can borrow my nut sack. It should fit 50 pounds of equipment
