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.
