Be a Part of the Texas Camel Corp Expedition in the Davis Mountains

We're adding events all the time to our Texas Mountain Trail web calendar, but this weekend a new event came in that made us sit up and take notice.  How would you like to go back to the 1850s and participate in a military experiment....walk and ride through the Davis Mountains with the Texas Camel Corps, November 10-11?

Sounds like a very special once-in-a-lifetime experience to us...and steeped in history, to boot.

Here's the event information:

"These treks, over the very ground trod by the US Army Camel Experiment of the 1850s, are overnight camel-assisted walking treks (some riding time is possible) on private land within the Scenic Fort Davis Loop. Led by Texas Camel Corps owner Doug Baum, participants must be able to walk 5-7 miles per day and provide their own sleeping bag, water container, small duffel bag or backpack and change of clothes. Camels, all other camping gear, and meals are provided.  Trek fee is $750 per person."
