Yeah this is kinda our last hurrah for the summer. It's really just a wheeling trip with the jeep thats got some camping attached to it. Anna has bowed out mainly because she has other things she would rather do than wheel and sweat. But i'm going to brave the heat for one more trip. Since its just Gabe and I, were going to camp in the primitive area. Mainly because of the fact it has more trees that shade the camp sites. I'll be bringing my Honda genny and using the water from the camper's tank for showers. I'm not even real sure if the park has a shower house or not.

I'll post some pictures up for you Thomas. The park does have showers and stuff by the way. The cost of primitive camping is 10 bucks a day. And use of the trails is another 30 unless you have a http://www.texasmotorizedtrails.com/ membership, Then it's 15 bucks a day. It is a cool place to go wheeling. Just search Barwell mountain on you tube for some cool video of people wheeling in the park.

Well we made it home in one piece! And we didn't lose many parts on the mountain either. Here's a few pictures we took during the trip.
