The weekend of October 21 was another exciting adventure! I went on a different O-Rec trip, this time camping at Devils River. There were eleven of us that went on the trip, and by the end of the weekend, we all had become friends. We departed Friday at 5:00 but due to a few wrong turns we didn’t arrive at the campsite until 3 a.m! We set up our tents (although most of us slept outside) and counted shooting stars until we fell asleep.
Devil’s River is located East of San Antonio and close to the Mexican border. The state natural area is home to many toads, rabbits, salamanders, birds, fish, snakes, and raccoons.
Saturday morning we ate bacon and eggs for breakfast. A few people went on an expedition to filter some water and bring it back so we could use it for drinking and cooking. Then at about noon we headed off to the river with our day-packs. In order to access the river we had to hike for 1.5 miles. We spent the whole day there, swimming, hiking, and exploring the area. We climbed to the top of this cliff, which was a lot of fun but my legs got all cut up from the cactuses and other spiky plants.
Sunday we went back to the river again and had a picnic before the long drive home. I had so much fun and am looking forward to future O-Rec adventures!
