Colorado Bend State Park, Texas, USA – 2012
An adventure to Colorado Bend State Park for my friend Kyle’s 30th birthday. Nothing horribly painful happened so there’s not really a story to go along with it! Enjoy!
-
- Heading on the open road to Colorado Bend State Park for my friend Kyle’s birthday camping trip.
-
- Two clowns in the back seat of my new used 2004 Honda Civic LX. The LX is not the top of the line model (but it is also not the lowest model).
-
- Sights from the road on the way down Highway 67. Definitely a different kind of lifestyle than what I’m used to. I imagine there’s a lot of peace in working land but maybe I’m just a super romantic type of guy…
-
- Party planner Marissa demonstrates how girls use the restroom in nature. She seemed geniunely enthusiastic about her opportunities to urinate in the wild.
-
- Shawna and Kyle posing and pretending to examine potential trails. I took a picture so that when we got lost, died and were eaten by vultures, the police would find these pictures and assume we were responsible enough to look at a map before venturing off.
-
- My friends exploring life ahead of me…getting careers, places of their own and decent incomes. I sit behind wondering what went wrong and struggling to put things together. Just kidding!! That’s depressing!!
-
- When I see scenes like this I imagine hundreds of years ago settlers must’ve thought to themselves, “Gee, this would be a great place to make some camping grounds and host people who like to be uncomfortable a few weekends every year.”
-
- These criminals displayed and consumed alcohol at their campsite, violating the state park’s rules…I still feel disgusted with myself for hanging around them.
-
- Good place to write poems if you’re into that but I’m not because it’s dumb and emotional and not something men do. I just walked right by and didn’t even feel a thing…I probably also fist-bumped one of my bros who was talking about oral sex with some skank.
-
- Kactus Kyle picking cactus pricklies out of his hand. We were going to try and cook cactus for dinner…but for some reason we didn’t end up doing that.
-
- Me demonstrating how much I hate pizza by placing it directly above a fire in hopes of watching it burn slowly. I only smile that big when I’m torturing things.
-
- The view in front of our campsite shortly before sunset.
-
- Andrew and Shawna talking about which one is going to vote harder for Mint Romni. For some reason I think they’re both all talk.
-
- This was a 6-second exposure shot at ISO 3200 in almost complete darkness.
-
- Photons, lightwaves, physics, science…none of this could exist without campfires.
-
- Hanging out at the fire and talking bad about our parents. Just kidding mom!!
-
- Waking up with the sunshine alarm clock!! What could be better?
-
- An even more temporary home than usual. We stayed here for one night. It’s easier to appreciate life when you feel like you’re moving through it rather than forcing yourself to stay in something.
-
- Beans and eggs, campfire style. Next time we go we will bring more types of food…
-
- Wise guys sitting around a campfire telling jokes about who knows what.
-
- Some kind of outrageous centipede that attacked and killed all of us. I’m posting this blog from the afterlife.
-
- The boys trying to capture our centipede friend.
-
- An idea of how big this cuddly creature was…
-
- Breaking even more rules at the risk of a $500 fine for playing in the waterfall which is a very sensitive environment. Me…I just document this stuff so my friends can be prosecuted at a later date.
