[Steppes] Steppes Digest, Vol 1130, Issue 19

[Liz Wilson]

Awesome!  We are going to have to daytrip as the
girls have a scouting event all day (and don't want to
be left alone Friday night), but we are looking forward
to being there ASAP on Saturday (goal is 8:30 am).

> ?
> * This is NOT a barefoot site.? Although we cleaned off a good bit of the 
> parking, camping, tournament and food areas, mesquite branches mown down 
> still dot the areas here and there.? Thick soled shoes are a MUST.
> ?
> * The road into and through the site is not well graded.? Take it slowly.
> ?
> * Bring plenty of sunscreen.? The breeze and?light reflection?off of the

> ?
> * If you are camping, bring plenty of water.? The same conditions that can 
> give a good sunburn will dehydrate you more quickly than you think.

> For those of you unfamiliar with the site, or just because it's been a

> best route to Highway 6?heading east from?Waco.? Turn left on Hallsburg 
> Road (FM 3222), left on Hall Drive, following the curve away from the 
> school to make a right on Wilbanks Drive.? The site will be on your left, 
> just past the reservoir boat landing area.? If you get to Pavelka Drive,
