Caprock Canyons Camping

Well.....heads up on the fact that this is a very heavy picture post. Andrew and I recently went camping at the Caprock Canyons State Park in Texas. Its about two hours away from Lubbock (where we live).  It was so beautiful.  To give you a tid bit of info, Lubbock sits on a caprock.......meaning that there is a large mountain that has a big flat top and sprawls for miles and miles.  We went camping in the canyon where the caprock falls off........or where the mountain finally slopes down.  It was so beautiful, especially to see something other than flatness!

Our campsites were great, no running water however......and no showers. But there was a chemical toilet (which means a port-o-poty) with a nice little wooden building built around it.

Let the pictures begin!

Its like they planned this, you look one way and Ill look the other.......

My little mountain lion......thought this was a funny picture

I cant help not showing them off!

The view was so pretty, I was actually not taking a picture of June here, but she was chasing a fly and just so happened to........jump in. :)

Me......putting up the tent....all by my lonesome. I have to admit Im an awesome tent putter-upper.

TA-DA! OK maybe I had a tad bit of help :)

Warming up my feet by the fire.........NOT!  Dont know if you have heard, but Texas is under a severe wildfire danger, and thousands of acres have burnned down already. So we were under a burn ban.....which was kinda crappy. But we still made it work.

Wet puppies.....just went swimming in the lake.

The pretty view

Apparently this state park housed the last wild herd of North American Texas Bison.  They are I guess a totally different genetic breed from others.  This was the bull herd......I thought it was kinda cool.

Sleeping cudling puppies!

The moon was insanely bright the first night we were there. It was beautiful but.....also was a tiny issue when it came to peeing in the bushes at night. So the bathrooms were like way too far away to make a trek to in the middle of the night, and squatting in a bush is no big deal for me, except for this moon was so bright that it seemed like someone turned the lights on.  Id crawl out of the tent to go pee......and it seemed like I was peeing out in the open and whoever was out of their tent would definitely be able to see me.  Oh well........I wasnt gonna go walk forever, when you gotta go....you gotta go. :)

Sitting around......not the campfire.......chit chatting before bed.

Um....My favorite camping activity! Drinkin a bloody mary while playing rummycube! If you cant tell I was kicking butt!

She just cracks me up!

This was actually on the drive to go camping.  and......i looked behind us to find this. June sits on tex all the time so I think he must have been getting her back.  This is right after June DIAREAHHED all over the back of andrews truck by the way....she had her rabies shot the day before and had some loose stools i guess you could say. And oh man a 2 hour drive smelling dog poop......that was so fun!

We had a great trip, and cant wait to go back. However Id like to explore a new place the next time we go camping.......where ever we go, im sure you'll find out about it too!
