Central Texas SUL weekend

[mark henley]

This past weekend I did a 5 lb baseweight trip on the Goodwater loop in Georgetown, Texas, about 20 miles north of Austin.

I did the entire loop plus a few sidetrails over two days, Total packweight at the trailhead was 12 lbs 1 oz with 2.5 L of water.

Highs of 65 and lows in the 20's at night, with condensation freezing on the tent wall at night.

Here's some pics At the trailhead.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I like seeing gear in action. The Gatewood Cape looks great!

Mark, that really is minimalist; very impressive. Can you post a typical gear list at your profile?

I really have the Gatewood Cape bug. I am going to have to pick one up pretty soon…It looks great.

Next Friday and I'll have a Gatewood Cape on the way to me! :)

Sorry, but it's just to wonderful a design for me to NOT give it a shot, you know?
