First Blog!! Barton Creek Greenbelt

First blog of the year! Well, first blog ever! I went to Barton Creek Greenbelt this morning with my friend Hunter. We were geo-caching/photo taking/hiking. The photo's are from our adventure. We parked at the 360 trail head (near some office buildings) and set out from there. We did not find the first cache (suspect it may no longer be there), but we did find several others along the way. These were some of the items inside the first found cache. I played with them for a few minutes and then put them back for someone else to find.




It was great to be outdoors in January. The sun was shining and though it was a bit chilly at times overall the weather was perfect. I had never been here before so it was very interesting to see the creek bed without any water at all. Imagination came in very handy. I definitely want to come back when there is water. My dog, KC, would love it!


We did find a small trickle of water near the Gus Fruh area of the park. We followed it upstream a bit and found ourselves looking down a very steep cliff to the dry beds below. We could see people, hear people, and hear said people yelling at their dogs not to go in the water (what do they expect? It's what dogs do!).


We started heading back to the trail head after an unsuccessful foraging session for a hidden cache. I saw the cutest freakin' puppy ever - all black and fuzzy with that puppy face! I'm a sucker for puppies.
Made it back to the car around 1:30 - hungry and thirsty but very content.
Enjoy the photos!
