Nenando Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Really nice finds! Missed a Dallas Paleo trip out there, my loss. Anyone know about spots in Brownwood, Tx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Really nice finds! Missed a Dallas Paleo trip out there, my loss. Anyone know about spots in Brownwood, Tx? Funny you should ask. Dallas Paleo Society will be there this coming weekend, April 26th and 27th. We'll camp at the state park on the lake and collect at 4 different places. See dallaspaleo.org and click on field trips. Scroll down to the Brownwood trip for details. If you can't make it I'll report back which sites are public so you can go on your own. I'm going down Friday afternoon and camp an extra night, so I don't have such an early drive from Cooke County on Saturday morning. BobW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nenando Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Bob I'm on that trip and will arrive Saturday morning. Looking forward to meeting you, Mike and others. I booked a room but camping sounds like a blast. I may bring my camping gear and set up Sat night if there are spots available at the state park. I have a state park pass so I don't know why I didn't think of that 1st! Could've saved a few bucks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanNREMTP Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Wish I could make it but I'm taking a group back out the the Lake Waco site. Plus my wife left me to volunteer at the local zoo so I have to babysit once I get back home from hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
