We embarked on our
first camping trip in quite awhile, armed with new backpacks, sleeping bags,
tent, and iso-butane stove. Spent the night at the Paso Picacho
campground last night, then hiked Stonewall Mountain this morning.
Lessons learned: the redneck proletariat tend to frequent campgrounds on
holiday weekends, not a great time to go unless you enjoy listening to
twenty-something high school graduates exercising their abbreviated language
and social skills while downing six packs of Coors Light and listening to sappy
country music. Also, read the instructions on the freeze dried food
package prior to the trip, lest you find yourself without the appropriate
cookware and be unable to cook what's inside. But the hike was great, and
the views incredible, even while rain clouds drifted in and out of the area.
