On Indiangrass Trail (from the Doeskin trailhead), there is a side trail that goes over this hill, down the other side, and back to the main trail. It's a fun little climb, with great views from the top. And the bottom layer of the hill is full of marine fossils.

I have been trying to learn more about Texas marine fossils so I was looking forward to revisiting this side trail to take some photos and test my identification skills. But when I got there, I found this sign saying it's prohibited now and I can't go look at the fossils.

Does anyone know why this changed?

Hey y'all, my friend and I will be camping at Pedernales Falls later this summer. We are planning on camping at one of the electric sites. The campsite descriptions say that they come with a fire ring with a grill. I have never used these before; can someone please explain how they work? Do they need firewood?

The photo above is a picture I found online of one of the grills.

Here's a link to bookmark for Texas camping. Somebody should re-post this a couple of times a year :-) It's the counties' burn bans, updated every Wednesday for your weekend camping planning by Texas A&M Forest Service (complimentary Whoop!) Shown is the Aug. 12 status in .png format, one among several formats available. Bear in mind that TPWD, LCRA, and other public parks go by the local county's burn ban for authority. At the county level it's decided by the county judge and/or the county commission.

Well worth the hike.

Taking this "ilearntoboat" exam. I thought it was 5 levels but now I'm on level 6. Nowhere on the site does it say length beyond "a few hours".
