A Better Offer and I ALMOST Did It

Saturday morning Hubby and I were getting ready to go hiking.  When suddenly......a phone call with a better offer.

Mineral Wells State Park with Father In Law and his boy scout troop to go rock climbing and rapelling.

I had never been there before.  It is a beautiful park with great trails.  And bathrooms!  

The batteries in the camera died quickly. The 8 rechargeable batteries we took as backup?  Wouldn't backup.  So these are the only pictures I got.

Mineral Wells Lake

Some Troop 3 getting ready to go over the edge.

Hubby getting ready to go over the edge.

He is using Army surplus webbing

as his harness.

Lunch break.

I eventually worked up the nerve to put on a rapelling harness.  And get hooked into the ropes.  Double ropes, so I would go nice and slow.  And approach the edge.  And put one foot over the edge.

But that was it.  

I could not make myself put the other foot over.

Maybe next time.

And with better backup batteries.
