TPW MAGAZINE -- 3 DAYS IN THE FIELD: A daughter and dad 
spend three days in the field [04 " ... time together."] ... ahead ... 
on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

The outdoors helps you recharge and connect with those 
you love, as Stephanie Salinas discovered when writing a 
piece for TPW magazine's Three Days in the Field column.

07 -- You basically try and create a weekend adventure just to 
get away, and take a break from the routine.

Her dad was her companion for this Central Texas jaunt.

09 -- Well, my dad and I are very close, and he's a big nature 
buff. He loves going hiking and hunting, and I don't really get 
to see him as often since I moved away. 

They visited Inks Lake, Longhorn Caverns and Pedernales 
Falls, all within 30 minutes of one another. 

08 -- We stayed the first two nights at Inks Lake, because Inks 
Lake and Longhorn Caverns are about five minutes apart. So, 
it's really easy to go back and forth.
At Inks they stayed in a cabin, fished, cooked on a 
campfire and the first night took a quarter mile hike to 
Devil's Waterhole. 

05 -- Which is an overlook of the entire park. It was a really short 
hike that offered great, great views.
Across the road at Longhorn Caverns, the absence of 
stalactites and stalagmites surprised Salinas and dad.

07 -- This one was made by a rushing river millions of years ago. 
It's completely smooth - the entire top looks like marble.

And Pedernales offered surprises around every turn.
05 -- The thing about this one is it has a lot of hidden nooks and 
crannies that you wouldn't even think of.
