After being so busy for the last several weeks, we needed a real nature fix! We drove down Texas 39 (Hill Country Byway) to Lost Maples Natural Area. We had not been to this park since 2009 and were eager to get out and stretch our legs. Texas 39 is a really pretty and fun road to drive. If you have never driven it, you should add it to your bucket list. Particularly in the spring when the wild flowers are blooming.
The day was cool but sunny. We choose to hike the East/West trail this time. We took Etta along with us since dogs are allowed on hiking trails in Texas state parks. We hiked about 2 miles out and 2 miles back. This was the first hike Leslie had been on since she hurt her knee in October. By the time we got back, our legs were letting us know it had been a long time since we had walked that far. Even Etta was wore out and slept most of the ride home. Leslie’s knee did just fine! The landscape was pretty sparse being winter, but the air was fresh and clean. We really enjoyed ourselves.
