Saturday Lucy Park Backwoods Jungle Log Jamming Again


On this third Saturday of the 2025 version of July it was back to shady Lucy Park I drove for some salubrious nature communing at a location where the leaves of trees provide some sun blockage and a slight cooling result.

Looking at today's long-range weather prediction for my Wichita Falls, Texas location, I see it has changed from yesterday, when the prediction was we'd get a break from 100-degree days, with a cold snap dropping the August 4 high to 99 degrees.

Yesterday's prediction had that one day cold snap followed by day after day over 100, in August.

But, today's changed prediction has the temperature dropping well below 100 on August 2 and continuing below 100 for most of the following August days.

A couple days ago I hiked the trail through the Lucy Park Backwoods Jungle, til I came to a big trail blocking log jam.

Today I hiked the Lucy Park Backwoods Jungle trail from the other entry, til I reached the trail blocking log jam.


The trail blocking log jam looks bigger from this side than it did from the other side. When I was on the other side I contemplated climbing over the log jam, but opted not to, thinking snakes and who knows what other critters might be lurking.

Seeing the log jam today, from the other side, I could see there is no way one would want to, or could, climb over it.

I hope a bulldozer arrives soon to clear out the Lucy Park Backwoods Jungle's log jam. That trail is my favorite hot weather hiking location, when it is log jam-free...
