The route is a bit confusing, but the owners of the land have put up lots of arrows and signs pointing out the correct route and stopping you if you're on the wrong one...it only takes about 15 minutes...I had a beautiful sunshine day...a sweet garden snake was trying to block my return path...I think he wanted to play.
Drove over from my home in Tyler. It was raining when I arrived, but I couldn't let that stop me. Took my GPS and camera and headed out. I got a little confused (the rain didn't help) but found the right route. This is definately not a classic highpoint. It was more fun looking at where Bonnie and Clyde were killed a few miles away.
Route Climbed: South "Ridge" Route Date Climbed: 9/27/02
Driskell is confusing, and the only thing that saved me was the directions from the highpointers website to get there. It was a nice day, but the trail was a little wet, due to a hurricane the previous morning. Another high point down!
