I hadn’t been out to Lost Maples since childhood, so I decided to go down there this weekend for an overnight trip. I had been watching the reports from the park and the colors are starting to show up, but it will probably be a few more weeks before there’s orange and red everywhere. I still enjoyed a great weekend camping in a great Texas park.
