Slept late, it’s nice to be someplace where it’s fairly quiet, even though the road isn’t that far away. Did a few things in the morning before saddling up and heading out around noon. The trail was mostly dirt and sand, so we didn’t have to put boots on, though there were a few rough spots along the way. It was mostly flat, apparently an old pecan orchard, though there were a few rises and washes to enjoy. The biggest problem was that the trail map they gave us used completely different names on them than the signs on the trails! Every intersection was a mystery! Had no idea where we were for at least an hour, guessing and navigating by instinct. Eventually we figured it out and got back to the road, which has a good dirt road that follows the main road, though safely inside the park fence. I guess the only thing we really needed to remember was the road was to the south and west, and the lake (which we never got to) was to the east and north. We also had some tall main power lines that helped keep us on track. It must be some kind of joke or something, that the trails are marked with names that aren’t on the map. Oh, well, no one said this was going to get boring!
