      backlasher replied to the thread New Upcoming Trail in Texas.
      I've thought about a trail from Houston to San Antonio. It would be about 200 miles and there are small towns about every 25 miles. The problem would be the weather. Summers can be brutal and winters, while not really cold, can be very wet. If...
