A couple of weeks ago, I went camping at Buffalo Springs Lake. It is a great place to study hills, cliffs, rocks, erosion, water, shrubbery, trees, trails, canyons, a bridge, dam, and spillway. All this is just a few miles outside of Lubbock. Entrance fee is $2, camping is $10 and up, depending on your need for hookups. There are 3 very nice hiking trails, if you include the abandoned road across from the water slide.
