BTW, I met a woman and her children (no husband around) in Touloumne Meadows who told me after she found out that I live just 3 hours away and would camp and visit there at least yearly, on how lucky I am to have these where in "Texas, there is nothing."
I don't understand why someone from Texas would make that statement. Perhaps ignorance on her part. We have 13 National parks, forests, recreational areas and monuments in Texas and 51 state parks. Been to many of them and each has it's uniqueness and beauty.
I don't know myself. I was fly fishing and her kids are wading along the shallow side. I am reasonably good looking. Maybe she just wanted to start a conversation. LOL
Or maybe she did not think you were good looking at all, and did not want you to have any clue where she was from, so she said Texas when she is actually from Connecticut LOL.
