(Pershing East is the meeting point for those who want to carpool to Wild Basin. Options below👇)
👋 I’m David Kadavy and I’m a writer. I’m coming to Austin just to hang out with you a few days, so let’s kick it off with a hike!
Our destination is Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, where we will see flora, fauna, and a waterfall, and chat about writing online and publishing books.
⛰️We will hike the Laurel, Yaupon, Possum and Arroyo Vista Loop, which is a 1.8 mile loop with 288 ft in elevation gain. (Hiking more optional.)

Wild Basin requires reservations, so there are two options:
1️⃣ USE MY RESERVATION/CARPOOL
Meet us at Pershing East at 10:30 a.m. to carpool (Please chip in $3 to cover reservation. Possible additional transport costs if we fill our car with five and more cars aren’t volunteered.)
2️⃣ MAKE YOUR OWN RESERVATION/DRIVE YOURSELF
Meet us at the Wild Basin trailhead. *You’ll need to make and pay for a reservation on the Wild Basin website here:* https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/wildbasinwildernesspreserve/items/310060/calendar/2021/08/?flow=577453&full-items=yes
THEY'RE VERY STRICT ON PARKING RESERVATIONS SO DON'T SKIP THIS!
