For Those Just Tuning In...

This site represents a very long year's worth of blogging. For those of you just coming to it, I've put together a few page links below which will give you a good smattering of my trek around Texas.
.
I get asked a lot of questions about people, animals, weather, and more with a certain amount of frequency. The following blogs will address these issues with a specific story.
.
The Scary Incident at the Beach
The Panther's Scream
The Ice Storm in the Lower Panhandle
The People of Muleshoe, Texas
Big Bend National Park Thoughts
The Funkiest Hostel in Texas
My Nighttime Border Stretch
Sneaking into a State Park
Reflections
The Final Map
.
Faces of Texas was a recurring blog post about the people I met along the way. Click on the region to see who I met and what their stories are. There will be some overlap between regions, but by and large, it'll be accurate. Also, when a region is mentioned multiple times, just keep in mind, I was walking, not driving, through these places. I spent a LOT of time in each corner of the state.
