About the Author:

Whether tracking game, looking for a secluded fishing spot, or just wandering the countryside, Tom Taylor spends a great deal of time on Texas' trails. A native raised in West Texas, he migrated to the Hill Country area to take advantage of all it has to offer in outdoor recreation. He now resides in San Antonio.

Born in Tennessee, Johnny Molloy moved to Knoxville in 1980 to attend the University of Tennessee. The lure of nearby Smoky Mountain National Park was too hard to resist. In spite of a disastrous first camping trip, Molloy developed a life-long passion for the outdoors, which he continues today, 15 years and 1,300 nights later. He is the author of several hiking and tent camping guides to the Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee areas and lives in Nashville.
