Wildflower Trail at Barton Creek in Austin Photo by Chris Duffy
This is a trail I took while on a business trip in Austin earlier this year. I don’t think there will be an abundance of flowers though when Alice and I go to Austin in October, but we are going to see some wonderful scenery any way.
We’ve already started accumulating the things we’ll need to take in our back pack “survival kit”. And by starting that process now, it only heightens the anticipation. Of course 95% of the stuff we’ll never use, but you want to be prepared just in case. We found the compass to be VERY helpful on our Arkansas trip so we’ll never go hiking again without one.

Absolutely gorgeous picture! Amazing!
With the packing, it’s always the stuff you need that you thought you wouldnt, heehee.
I love the little Mexican hat prairie coneflowers. I had a clump or two of them in my last garden, and may even have some seeds now — but who knows were I’ll plant them. We may see a few fall-blooming wildflowers in October when we go. In our confirmation for the B&B in Fredericksburg that came yesterday there was a little packet of seeds from the Wildseed farm close to Fredericksburg along with the flyers for other attractions there. I’m getting excited too. :fun:
Best to be prepared. Folks who just wing it drive me crazy.
