April 3 - Lake Mineral Wells State Park, Tx.



We left Jellystone early, restocked our groceries and headed for Lake Mineral Wells State Park.  It was another lovely wildflower strewn drive.   This time with purple and solid pink paintbrushes as well as the usual bluebonnet lupines and peaches and cream paintbrush.  




 yes, that is the road into the campsites down there




hope it doesn't rain


Mineral Wells was emptying out of the weekenders when we got here.  It went from packed to nobody but a couple of campers in about 2 hours.


eye level, hmm


Kirk's not so sure about this




We are camped right on the water and if the lake rises even a bit we could be in it.  It is old growth post oak and blackjack oak forest mixed with grasses and cacti.  


The lake has numerous species of fish and Kirk and I spent about an hour in the heat of the day trying to catch one.  We also walked about 2 miles of trail.  We were tuckered out when we spotted Cam cruising by and caught a ride back. 
98 Km.

Very nice to see you are still in the green. It snowed big fluffy flakes all day here but not much accumulation. The frost was coming out so now all of the side roads are slippery with frozen, slippery snow pack. Don't worry there isn't any snow off the mountain.
