This is Claudette (my boss's wife) and I walking along the
Cross Timbers hiking trail on Lake Texoma. Claudette's husband, James, took this picture. She's waiting for me to get caught up to her. |
| This is another shot of us walking along the trail; this time, I am wondering where her backpack is... James also took this picture. |

This is a map of the full trail. We usually hike from
Cedar Bayou Marina to Eagle's Roost camp. The distance is about 4.5
miles. There are flat lands and hilly areas along this part of the trail. Local Boy Scout troops use this trail in preparation for Philmont and some mountain bike riders use the trail on the more 'mountainous' areas of the trail.

| This is Claudette (left), Dwight (center), and I (right) standing and talking near our camp fire after we got our camp site set up. James took this one too. |

Here's Claudette and I talking (while staying warm) near
the fire. I think James or Dwight went off to gather more firewood and I stayed back in camp with Claudette. |
| Us sitting around the campfire just chit-chatting. |

This is Dwight following one of our rappelling ropes down the cliff side to remove a tangle. |
| Dwight bringing the rope back up (since I probably laid the rope incorrectly) and we re-tossed it. |
 |
 |
Dwight makes it to the top of the cliff. |
| This is me securing a rappelling rope to a sturdy tree so we can zip down it to the water's edge about 40 feet below. |

This is Dwight (left) and I (right) on belay about 40 or so feet above the water's surface. |
| Dwight and I heading down the cliff face. |
