In honor of spring and the upcoming trip to Southeast Asia, Andrew, Shawna and I decided we should practice the habit of finding adventure wherever we happen to be. Our typical routine in the area we live in (Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area) consists of walking around at nature parks, visiting various local restaurants and sitting outside the Starbucks where our friends work. We all really enjoy being outdoors and going camping so we decided to break out of the metroplex and explore a lesser-known (to us) area of Texas. We’ve all had multiple camping trips in eastern Texas and recently had each spent some time near Austin, so we decided to go northwest to Palo Duro Canyon State Park because of the varied terrain and according to Shawna, a reasonable driving time of about three hours or so.
