Cross Timbers Region Trek
This past weekend, I got to visit Lake Mineral Wells and camped out at Possum Kingdom for the night. Also, I got a chance to check out the newest state park, Palo Pinto Mountains SP.
The area was quite verdant, and got to see so much wildlife, from roadrunners to copperheads, even some exotic game on hunting ranches.
FYI, if you’re trying to hit up Palo Pinto, I recommend making a reservation. When I drove up at around 10:30 AM, the park ranger mentioned they had 20 spots left for day passes. It’s the talk of the town! Their hikes are moderately challenging and long, which I appreciated. You can knock out these 3 parks in a single day trip.
Plus, I had a great time driving through Texas backroads. I’m not saying that doing so will solve all your problems, but it’s worth a try!
