The temperature has cooled down. It’s a great time to spend a day or two outdoor.

We are going to Colorado Bend State Park to hike. Some of us will stay there on Saturday night to camp too.

Here is the plan:

• leave Austin at 9am, Saturday
• arrive at the state park around noon (should take about 2.5 hours to get there)
• hike at one of the trails (probably the one by the river)
• find a good spot to stop for picnic
• return to trail head at 4pm
• those interested in hiking-only will leave
• those interested in camping will head to the camp site (about 1 mile walk)
• set up the tent, relax, and enjoy the beautiful sky at night!!

Things to bring:

Hikers:

• water
• lunch (sandwich, or anything you want to enjoy at outdoor)

Campers:

• All of above, plus: 
• 1 gallon of water, 
• sleeping bag, 
• food for dinner (we will have a stove for simple cooking)

we will bring the tent.
