My first REAL backpacking trip!

The start of our journey

Here is the jist- Austin has ALWAYS been a spontaneous guy. We were planning this weekend to Palo Duro Canyon (outside Canyon Texas) for a week and we were excited to go out and go camping. So friday finally came and we left town, once we were in Plainview, Aust decided it would be much cooler to go to Santa Fe New MExico and climb Mountain Balde- so we drove there instead. The temperature to the two places were totally different so we didnt pack the right clothes for Santa Fe and it got in the twenties at night!! It was such a great time though, we backpacked up the mountain for seven and a half hours and the mountain seemed unreal. Gorgeous rivers flowing that looked like it was in jungles and fake they were so pretty, to climbing to the top of the mountain to a gorgeous LAKE!

The (bald) mountain in the back to where we are in the picture is where we hiked to the top of.
