Lake Colorado City - Lake Mineral Wells

Most of the day was spent traveling. We attempted to visit a few other tourist stops, but we had no where to stop the RV. The streets and parking were too small to pull over.

We camped at Lake Minerals Wells State Park. The park is huge, close to a metropolitan area and recently repaved. I can tell that the contractor responsible for laying out the sites has no experience with large RV's of any kind. The turns are sharp and even though the sites are long, there's no maneuvering room to back the rigs in.

After setting up, we took a sunset hike. Another park which is probably beautiful when fully green. Right now, the oaks are barren, the cattails dried out and a cold northern wind has come. We heard ducks and geese fly overhead. Our bodies are going through climate shock (welcome to Texas). Yesterday we slept with the windows open and last night we had the heater on in freezing (literally) weather.

I did enjoy civilization for grocery shopping and having meat for dinner. Supper was great. Oh, and my twist to the Farkle game was fun... and the distraction allowed me to stomp Clint both times.
