Sorry about the cancellation. But, oh, man, I love Pedernales Falls Sate Park! It's one of my favorite places to camp.

A Small Ike Casualty

Not to lighten how serious the storm was, I have friends in Beaumont that do not know when they are heading home or even if they have a home. This is miniscule in comparsion to that and my friend's from the Houston/Gulf area upcoming weeks/months/years.
My husband has been super excited about his first Mountain Bike race in over 3 years scheduled this weekend at Huntsville State Park. It has been all he can talk about, he has been doing some riding with his friend who is a category higher racer and was really confident. We booked our campsite and he was so pumped for Sunday. This morning I got a call that Huntsville State Park received damage in the hurricane and will be closed until September 28 for clean up. No race, no camping. I haven't spoken to DH this morning to tell him.
And to always find a silver lining, we will go camping at Pedernales Falls State Park in the lovely hill country which has a 7.5 mile easy to medium mountain bike trail. But no race for my husband.Amanda

Sorry about the cancellation. I suppose you could race the 7.5 mile trail. First one to the campsite gets to...the prize of your choosing!

Lol. Well maybe I should suggest that, he is quite a bear to deal with at the moment. He has really been looking forward to this and will be sulking this evening. Fun fun. But he will be fine in a few days, I hope.

How disappointing for him. (and for you having to make it all better) Good luck taking his mind off of it! I am sure he would be amenable to something!
