Hi
Ladies:
\nI have interest in trying again to travel to the Buffalo a
nd White rivers for some kayaking/camping originally scheduled before you-
know-what changed our plans this year. Surely 2021 will be kinder to us!
Here’s hoping!
\nThe itinerary would be similar to 2020’s with a co
uple of possible changes. Some members have expressed interest in traveli
ng more miles daily in order to have the bulk of our time at our primary d
estinations…the Buffalo and White rivers.
So I’m asking for any wh
o are interested to join a conversation on Meetup regardi
ng (1) How far per day are you able/willing to travel (2) What other activities in the beautiful state of Arkansa
s interest you and (3) Do you even still have interest i
n kayaking these gorgeous rivers and making at least 1 stop in (also gorge
ous) northeast Texas?

She attended Southern Illinois University and earned her B.S. degree in Zoology with a Wildlife Management focus. After worki ng with the Wildlife Biologist in the Region and being told “having your B .S. in Wildlife is equivalent to a High School diploma in this field\,” he encouraged her to earn her M.S. degree in Forestry with a Human Dimension s of Wildlife Management focus. Her Master’s thesis studied motivations of Hunter\, Boater\, and Trapper Education Volunteer Instructors with the Il linois Department of Natural Resources. Six months before graduation\, she found a job posting for Texas Parks and Wildlife seeking a Hunter Educati on Specialist\, to manage volunteer Hunter Education Instructors = nearly identical to her graduate research! She graduated in May\, loaded up a U- Haul and headed south to Houston. \nShe began her career with TPWD on July 1\, 1998 as the Hunter Education Specialist for SE Texas.\n“I’ve had more fun\, had the best adventures\, and made lifelong friends in the Hunter E ducation Program and Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program (which I additiona lly started overseeing in 2011). My first “Boss” Terry Erwin asked me eve ry week “Are you still having fun?” and he always followed up with “This will be the best job you’ll ever have – it’s not a “job” when your career vocation is your avocation!”From lavaging an alligator (making it throw up to analyze stomach contents)\; holding Hunter Education classes at the Ra cetrack\; teaching Rodeo clowns how to safely shoot Laser Shot firearms at the Rodeo\, flying in helicopters (and going through helicopter safety or ientation!!) several times conducting hunter education and firearm safety presentations to different offshore platforms\; starting “Take Me Outdoors Houston” in 2009 and growing the event each year\; traveling across North America and Canada to attend professional workshops and meetings (Alaska holding a piece of a glacier – bucket list!!) and opportunities for many\, many fun shooting days\; and doing TPWD videos – yup – I’m still having fun!”\n\nAnd she’s looking forward to being with us!

\nCamping When: June 8 – June 11
\nLeader: Maria Vidal
\nPaddling When: Thursday\, June 10
\nMariaV will be staying at the Buescher SP (Smithville) from June 8 to June 11 and decided to extend this invitation to those that like to paddle and eat well.
\nPaddling would be scheduled to start unloading the kaya ks at 9:00 am. In the map attached there are two put-in options\, but con sidering the time factor\, the best choice for that day is Hidden Shores. The take-out point would be Vernon Richards Riverbend Park. This is abo ut a 5 mile paddle which should take 2 to 3 hours.
\nAfter the paddl e\, we can all go back to Buescher SP and have a cookout. Those that want to stay at the park\, there seem to be sites available. Maria is staying at Oak Heaven Circle\, Cabin #3. If you want to go home\, the drive to A ustin is less than an hour.
\nMore detailed plans to come\, I am try ing to get an idea of how many would be interested.
\nThanks\, MariaV

What: A 28 mile bike ride on the Lake Mineral Wells Trail way\, a Rail to Trails corridor originating from the historic Weatherford\ , Mineral Wells & Northwestern Railroad
\nLeade r: Diane Nunez
\nWhen: Saturd ay\, 9/24 8:30AM
\nRSVP: Meetup
\nDetails: the trail surface is asphalt and finely crushed limestone and with the exception of a handful of short spots that are soft gravel or sandy\, it is an easy ri de. From Mineral Wells State Park the trail head is in the amphitheater pa rking lot. The park trail that gets you to the Trailway is about a half mi le and steep. There may be spots on it that are washed out or sandy\, so r ide it cautiously.
\nWhen we get to the Trailway\, we w ill be turning left heading to the town of Garner. It is 3.1 miles to Garn er and 10.9 miles from Garner to Weatherford. In Weatherford \, we will ar rive at Cartwright Park and Sunshine Lake. We will check out the park and the lake to determine if we want to take a swim. You can bring a snack and we will stop for a rest in Cartwright Park. If the group wants breakfast or coffee\, we can stop at the Garner Cafe since it is very close to the t rail. Round trip is 28 miles.
\nIf som e riders want to add more mileage\, when we pass by the trail to the State Park\, we can continue on the trailway to Mineral Wells which is 5.8 mile s one way which would make the total mileage close to 40 miles. The websit e states that the trailway is closed from FM 1195 to the Vietnam Memorial\ , but there is conflicting information about whether the trail is passable . In Mineral Wells\, we will turn around and come back to the park.
\n< p class='mb-4'>Rules: A bike helmet is required\, if you show up with no helmet\, you cannot ride with us. Bring more water than yo u think you will need and drink plenty of water the day before the ride. H igh temperature on 9/24 is projected to be 87 degrees.Join us for o ur TOWN Austin Monthly Meeting – Tuesday\, September 27\, 2022 at 6:00 pm.
\nWe will meet at the Northwest Recreation Center. You can also jo in us via Zoom. Details will be included in the meeting invitation.
\nHave you ever wanted to learn about fly fishing? Join us at our Septem ber 27 monthly meeting and meet the President of Texas Women Fly Fishers\, Joan Swartz. She’ll introduce the basic knowledge of fly fishing and how to get started. The types of fish you can catch\, how to catch them and a whole lot more.
\nTexas Women Fly Fishers has extended an invitati on to anyone who would like to join this group on one or both of their upc oming fishing outings.

\nMeeting agenda:
\nWhen: Wed/Mar ch/29 – Tuesday/April 4/2023
\nWhere: Wes Cooksey County Park on TX- 55\, north of Uvalde\, TX
\nOuting Leader: MariaV
\nReservatio ns: all reservations and payments will be made through the outing leader.< /p>\n
I will need to know who is attending by the end of January and hav e to send deposit by Feb/15. After that\, you can go on a waiting list in case that anyone cancels.
\nDescription of the park and cost: The TE NT sites are close to the lake edge formed by the Nueces River dam. The vi ew is incredible (I am including a picture in my email). There are water a nd electric hook-ups on each site. The bathrooms are close by. We will TEN T in adjacent sites so that we can stay together. The cost depends on how many attend and how many sites we end up renting. One site will cost $140/ week. Three or more people in a site is additional $5 per camper. The park management only allows 2 vehicles per site. This will require some planni ng and compromising\, but it will be all worthwhile. Hook ups for RVs are in the opposite side of the park and must be reserved separately.
\nActivities: You can swim\, kayak or fish at the lake. Other nearby attract ions include Kickapoo Cavern SP\, Las Moras Spring\, Devil’s River SP and Seminole Canyon. Plenty of scenic hiking trails\, and biking trails\, bird watching\, swimming\, and tubing opportunities. More information and plan ning closer to the trip.
\nSafety issue: There is NO lifeguard at th is county park for the lake. Life jackets are required when kayaking\, fis hing\, and tubing. And helmets are required when biking.
\nIf you wa nt to participate in this event\, go to Meetup for more details.
\nInclude questions that will make you more at ease w ith attending this trip.
