What: Solar Eclipse Campout
When: April 8, 2024
Where: Junction, TX
RSVP: Meetup
Details:
I have gotten to know a local land owner out there who would love for us to camp at her place. Nothing fancy, but a place to pitch a tent, and practice “becoming an outdoors-woman”. We will not have utilities, but she will provide a camp bucket type potty in a tent for privacy, for the tenters. If you have an RV, you may boondock (dry camp). $20 per night to camp (tent or RV). Weather is always unpredictable, but early April should be fairly cool and comfortable at night. She has an area to sit and cool off during the day down by the river. It is also a good kayak take-out spot.
Hotels have been booked for quite some time, and RV campgrounds will be packed. It will be very difficult to get multiple camp sites at any state park, so that our group can be together. We can go early or stay late, and kayak a beautiful stretch of the South Llano River while we’re there. Star watching should be great as the skies are very dark over Junction!

Idea: Let’s hike one of the trails at Longhorn Caverns SP, and learn about the Civilian Conservation Corps and its work in Texas (exhibit in the original administration building). Entry to the park grounds is free; entry to the cavern is by paid guided tours. Go to VisitLonghornCavern.com for tour information.
