Wright Patman Lake, Texarkana, TX; Oct 20-Nov 1, 2013


Sorry for the long dry spell on this - there were several reasons, life has hopefully straightened out for a while and I'll be better...

Camp
We swung over to Wright Patman to stay until it was time to head south since it was a Corps Park and was a place we knew. There isn’t much to do nearby, but we managed to waste the 10 days easily. One of the folks camped there told us about The Fiesta House, where we ate a couple of times. Our waiter was great and the food better than average. There was another place we wanted to try that was highly rated (Tacos Mi Pueblo) but was only open Saturday and Sunday’s and we never made it. We’ll have to try next time we’re in the area.

Corps Boat
The weather was cool but there were hordes of mosquitoes that made it miserable to be outside unless we were in the screen room. They were even out in the middle of the day and night. Thankfully, we didn’t have the bad weather we had in the spring, instead we had spectacular “Gator” sunsets – the sky was a brilliant orange and blue – four nights in a row.

Next it’s Louisiana again!

Lots of birds





Birds seem to love these berries
