Here are some pictures from our trip to Red Mountain, where we prepped for the Tonkawa Powwow and did some trash pickup. What a spot!
None of us had climbed the mountain before, but when we spotted some ribbons on trees, we figured that was our cue to start climbing.
Let’s just say it was more of a challenge than we bargained for, but we all reached the summit. The kicker? Those ribbons were actually indicating where a trail was supposed to go. Who knew?
Anyway, our detour led to some neat discoveries, like some clay handles that could’ve been part of ancient clay pots. I took some photos and left the artifacts in place for the ongoing archaeological dig.
Being a Texas Master Naturalist is a real treat, and our crew is fantastic. Love it!
