Last Saturday I wanted some solitude so I drove out to Quitaque to the Caprock Canyons State Park Trailway. I parked at Monk’s Crossing and hiked to the Clarity Tunnel. I didn’t want to go through the tunnel because I heard some bats and didn’t want to bother them too much. I made myself to the other side from the top. On my way back I wanted to wait a little and see if the bats would make their way out. I noticed this jeep pull up as I was making my way back down, have no idea how it made it to the tunnel. I started walking back in the dark when I spot multiple lights up ahead, oh great! It ended up being the park rangers looking for the jeep and because of my bad habits I get another reprimand. 😕 The views were amazing though!

El sábado pasado quería un poco de soledad, así que conduje hasta Quitaque al Caprock Canyons State Park Trailway. Me estacioné en Monk's Crossing y caminé hasta el Clarity Tunnel. No quería caminar por el túnel porque oí algunos murciélagos y no quería molestarlos demasiado. Me las arreglé para llegar al otro lado desde arriba. De regreso, quise esperar un poco y ver si los murciélagos salían. Vi que un jeep se detuvo mientras bajaba, no tengo idea de cómo llegó al túnel. Empecé a caminar de regreso en la oscuridad cuando vi varias luces más adelante, ¡no, pues guau! Terminaron siendo los guardabosques buscando el jeep y, debido a mis malos hábitos, recibí otra reprimenda. 😕 ¡Pero las vistas estaban increíbles!

Last Sunday I made my way back to Lake Meredith and did a little exploring at the Blue West Campground. Yes folks, there is water in the lake, my last few posts were taken on the far end of the lake.

El domingo pasado volví al lago Meredith y exploré un poco por el campamento de Blue West. Sí, gente, si hay agua en el lago; mis últimas publicaciones fueron en el otro lado extremo del lago.

On Saturday I drove out to Caprock Canyons State Park. I parked at the Wild Horse Campground and took the Wild Horse Trail down into the canyons, I made a right and connected up to the ridge on the Mesa Trail. I took a little break and continued on back down the Mesa Trail to the canyon floor, took a left on Lower Canyon Trail, then connected straight up again on the Wild Horse Trail. Pretty rugged and secluded out there, I was hoping to see more of the red cliff walls along Highway 256 but I think I was too far back from them.

El sábado maneje al Parque Estatal Caprock Canyons. Me estacioné en el campamento de Wild Horse y tomé el sendero Wild Horse que bajaba hacia los cañones. Giré a la derecha y subí a la cresta por el sendero Mesa. Me tome un pequeño descanso y continué bajando por el sendero Mesa hasta el fondo del cañón, giré a la izquierda en el sendero Lower Canyon y volví a subir directamente con el sendero Wild Horse. El paisaje era bastante escabroso y aislado; esperaba ver más de las paredes rojas de los acantilados a lo largo de la carretera 256, pero creo que estaba demasiado retirado de ellas.

Last Friday I went to Amarillo to run an errand and on my way back home I stopped at the Canyon Trails at Buffalo Hill to catch the sunset. There were two bikers down in the pits when I arrived. I had my supper there at the picnic table and waited a while. They left right before I got on the trails. I did a little loop through the central part of the park.

El viernes pasado fui a Amarillo a hacer un recado y, de vuelta a casa, paré en Canyon Trails en Buffalo Hill para ver el atardecer. Había dos ciclistas abajo cuando llegué. Cené allí, en la mesa de picnic, y esperé un rato. Se fueron justo antes de que salí a los senderos. Di una pequeña vuelta por la parte central del parque.

Went back to the Plum Creek area of Lake Meredith last Sunday for some more adventuring. I made it to a small hill overlooking Plum Creek, as it would empty into the lake if there was water in that area of the lake. I was to hoping to get closer to the creek since it’s hardly visible from this point but these views are not to bad.

Regresé a la area de Plum Creek en el lago Meredith el domingo pasado para seguir aventurando. Llegué a un pequeño cerro con vistas a Plum Creek, ya que desembocaría en el lago si hubiera agua en esa área. Esperaba acercarme más al arroyo, ya que es casi invisible desde aquí, pero estas vistas no estaban nada mal.

Got to witness this cool cloud formation last Saturday at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Looked like a giant forest fire. This was along the Givens, Spicer, Lowry Trailhead, about a mile in and back out and I focused my time on the edge of the cliffs.

Me tocó ver esta genial formación de nubes el sábado pasado en el Parque Estatal del Cañón Palo Duro. Parecía un incendio forestal gigantesco. Esto era sobre el inicio del sendero Givens, Spicer y Lowry, aproximadamente una milla de ida y vuelta, y me concentré en el borde de los acantilados.

Last Saturday at Palo Duro Canyon along the Lighthouse Trail and overlooking Sunday Creek.

I returned to Lake Meredith on Saturday and went back to the Plum Creek area. I hiked the road again leading out to the Windmill Campground and searched for some elevation gains to climb.

Regresé al lago Meredith el sábado y volví a la zona de Plum Creek. Recorrí de nuevo el camino que te lleva al campamento Windmill y busqué desniveles para subir.

Good morning folks, these are this past Sunday at Lake Meredith. I took Plum Creek Road down to the outhouse and did a little exploring along the road that takes you to the Windmill Campground. Got to see the Corn Moon rise.

Buenos días gente, estas son del domingo pasado en el lago Meredith. Tomé la calle de Plum Creek hasta el baño y exploré un poco el camino que te lleva al campamento Windmill. Pude ver la salida de la Luna del Maíz.

Last Saturday I went back to MERUS Adventure for a birthday hike. MERUS is located northeast on the opposite side of Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I hiked down Park Road West, took MERUS 101, and down The Drop In. I took a left and came back up on Landry’s Landing. I then took a right to Eagle Point to take a break and see the sunset. I took Camp Point Trail back to Park Road West and back to my truck. I was praying for the rain to pour down in the canyon. As soon as I get back on Camp Point Trail the skies open up and guess where, on the dirt road leading into the park and all over the parking lot. I don’t have four wheel drive so I was hesitant to leave the park. I get to my truck and decide to go for it. I was doing so well to stay on the center of the road but somehow lost my way and ended up in the ditch on the right side. I pushed the gas and my truck only moved if I didn’t touch the wheel. Miraculously my truck bounced back onto the center of the road and I gave it another go. Right before reaching the stop sign to get to FM 1258, I almost ended up in the ditch again. Wow, crazy adventure!

El sábado pasado volví a MERUS Adventure para una caminata de cumpleaños. MERUS se encuentra al noreste en el lado opuesto del Parque Estatal del Cañón Palo Duro. Caminé por Park Road West, tomé MERUS 101 y bajé por The Drop In. Giré a la izquierda y volví a subir por Landry's Landing. Luego giré a la derecha hacia Eagle Point para tomar un descanso y ver el atardecer. Tomé Camp Point Trail de regreso a Park Road West y de regreso a mi camioneta. Estaba rezando para que lloviera en el cañón. Tan pronto como regresé a Camp Point Trail, los cielos se abrieron y adivina dónde, en el camino de tierra que conduce al parque y por todo el estacionamiento. No tengo 4 x 4, así que dudé en salir del parque. Llegué a mi camioneta y decidí ir darle. Estaba haciendo bien en mantenerme en el centro del camino, pero de alguna manera perdí el camino y terminé en la zanja del lado derecho. Pisé el acelerador y mi camioneta solo se movió si no tocaba el volante. Milagrosamente, mi camioneta rebotó de nuevo al centro del camino y lo intenté de nuevo. Justo antes de llegar a la señal de stop para llegar a la calle FM 1258, casi termino en la zanja otra vez. ¡Guau, una aventura increíble!

Two Fridays ago I was in Palo Duro Canyon for a job event. I decided to stick around afterwards and get a hike in. I started at the Mack Dick Group Pavilion and took Upper Comanche Trail to the Hackberry Campground intersection. I was going to go up towards the top overlooking the campground but I was too tired. I started a little early than expected and that sun is no joke. I turned back and found some shade and took a break near the heart rock. I see a horse saddle in the rocks.

Hace dos viernes estuve en el Cañón Palo Duro para un evento del trabajo. Decidí quedarme después y hacer una caminata. Empecé en el Pabellón Grupal Mack Dick y tomé el Sendero Upper Comanche hasta la intersección del Campamento Hackberry. Iba a subir a la cima con vistas al campamento, pero estaba demasiado cansado. Salí a caminar un poco antes de lo esperado y ese sol no perdona. Regresé, busqué un poco de sombra y me tomé un descanso cerca de la roca de corazón. Veo una silla de montar en las piedras.

The Sunday before last, I stopped at Buffalo Springs Lake outside of Lubbock, TX from my drive back home from Altus, OK. I came back home on a different route and the sun was getting closer to setting and Buffalo Springs was literally right there. I noticed lots of dirt roads that take you to the edge of the cliffs but I only snapped a few photos near the dam. Maybe not quite the Panhandle but close enough.

El domingo anterior del pasado, me detuve en el lago Buffalo Springs, a las afueras de Lubbock, Texas, de regreso a casa desde Altus, Oklahoma. Volví por una ruta diferente y el atardecer se acercaba, y Buffalo Springs estaba justo ahí. Vi muchos caminos de tierra que te llevan al borde de los acantilados, pero solo tomé unas pocas fotos cerca de la presa. Quizás no sea exactamente el Panhandle, pero bien cerquita.
