Texas Madrone

They were full of red berries when I was there. Apparently, birds like them a lot. They left their seed droppings in neat little piles all over the trails.

Re: Texas Madrone

Hey, good to hear from you!

I noticed your name on one of the SP summit logs I signed. Sounds like you had your own great TX adventure in November.

The lower elevation Madrones were still full of berries while I was there, but the higher elevation trees were pretty berry-less.

I went on a mad march across the desert, summitting 8 peaks in 5 days (7 in Guad. Mtns plus North Franklin Peak near El Paso). It was nice to see some different scenery.

Re: Texas Madrone

Hi Sarah, I noticed that the Lost Peak page was deleted. I'm not sure why though.

Re: Texas Madrone

That is seriously a bummer. I know nothing about the history of the page or even who owned it. Makes me sad when pages disapear from the site. :( -Sarah
