Second Expedition Blog by Evan Harr


On this expedition, the weather was very strange. At the first campsite, the wind wouldn’t stop, and it interfered with a lot of things. It made it hard to carry out tasks. The cool part was that our first campsite was next to the hike we made to the highest point in Texas.
We had a shortened backcountry experience, but it was still pretty cool. We also got to swim in a pool at a state park. It had fish and turtles in it. It also had a high and low dive. There was also a really cool natural hot springs right next to the Rio Grande. We got to swim both of them, and the river was really fun to swim in against the current. It was right next to Mexico and I touched a rock right in front of it. There, we learned about some cool things like the cliff swallows.
The backcountry was kind of interesting and fun. We did some school and cooked some cool meals. It was an interesting backcountry experience, especially because some of the trail we walked on was in a water basin and really rocky. As we were leaving, there was also a mountain lion attack, so we had to go a different way in order to get out.
Texas was a very different experience to me. We saw some cool birds, javelinas, and it was very hot. There was also a lot of wind, and it felt different everyday we were there.
