Afternoon TOWN Members!  Four of us – Debbie, KathleenC with Baby and Mamie, and Jacque with Sheba – started from the parking lot talking about last night’s discussion about Purple Martins and how challenging Zoom can be.  All three canines were eager to be on the trail, sniffing, and splashing the creek water.  The trail condition has consistently improved, and more limbs having been trimmed and removed.  The most surprisingly to me are the size of the root balls pulled from the ground by the winds.  The City of Austin employees are doing a good job!

We discussed Debbie’s first time walking with us, using a hiking stick, which route to take, and additional activities the members of TOWN Austin enjoy. KathleenC mentioned returning from recent trips to Las Vegas (for her daughter’s wedding) and camping in Dinosaur Valley State Park last week and staying in an AirBNB Rv!  Jacque talked about the recent camping trip to Palmetto, how beautiful the wildflowers and plants were, what our meals were like, camping in Rvs, tents, and cabins, and driving to Shiner to see SandyS and pet Tilly.  And we all talked about eating at a DQ or Pizza Hut!  And the most surprising topic was that Debbie, and Kathleen are all three vegetarians – what they eat and the discomforts of failing to eat right.  Jacque is definitely not a vegetarian and does enjoy BBQ occasionally!

Come hike with us!  We enjoy talking and catching up with each other.  The trail presents a good environment, and we enjoy folks we encounter!
