Member Testimonial

There will always be trails to follow, mountains to climb, and valleys to explore.  Eighteen years ago, I began attending the monthly meetings of TWHC whose members simply love being in the out of doors.  It is a very diverse group of people who pursue a wide variety of occupations and other interests; yet the common need finds us planning with real anticipation the day hikes, once-a-month weekend campouts, and the really big trips.  We look forward to weekends in a tent, cooking on a small stove or over the open fire, and adjusting to whatever the weather might be.  We form groups, hike the trails, eat our meals together, and have long story times around the campfire before crawling into a sleeping bag, then drive home to be at work on Monday morning.  During my eighteen years of membership, I have had the fun of being in twenty Texas state parks, traveled to Yellowstone National Park participating in two backpacking trips, visited Glacier National Park, Banff, and Waterton in Canada, traveled twice to Arkansas, and hiked in Big Bend National Park.  The past four years I have been hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park plus past family trips to the Trappers Lake area in Colorado.  Other trips by members include England and traveling by canal boats, Peru, Grand Canyon, touring in France, and Copper Canyon in Mexico.  Being a friend to those in the club has been a pleasure and a privilege.  –Barbara E.
