Lost Maples State Natural Area.

Rained off and on through the night at Abilene State Park. Went for a short hike in the morning.

Sunrise at Copper Breaks State Park.

Eisenhower State Park near my campsite this morning. I had so much fun last night for the Honda Element meetup! Lots of cool cars, all different.

Cloudy morning at Brazos Bend State Park, from the observation tower. Unlike any other state park I’ve been to. Didn’t see any alligators.

Penn family farm at Cedar Hill State Park.

Buescher State Park at lunchtime. Had a picnic, then started listening to USA vs. France on the drive back before we watched the second half back at home.

Lunch at LBJ State Park. Picked up a turkey melt sandwich from a food truck in Johnson City, Cast Iron Punk.

Enchanted Rock. It’s too hot today so I can’t be bothered to hike to the top, but it’s still nice.

Trail bridge at Bastrop State Park. Trees are slowly coming back after the 2011 fire.

Morning at Guadalupe River State Park.

Left late from home today, but still arrived at Caprock Canyons State Park before dark. Not pictured, there was a band playing at the visitors center, a nice welcome.

Pedernales Falls State Park.

Mother Neff State Park.

Dichotomy. In Waco this morning in between state park visits. ☕️

Fort Parker State Park.

Old steps and trail built by the CCC, at Lockhart State Park.

McKinney Falls State Park.

Went on a short hike at Lake Whitney State Park. Windy day near the water.

Ray Roberts Lake State Park. First state park of the new year as I attempt to visit all 88 parks in Texas over the next couple of years.

Feeling like it’s time to travel again. For 2024, I’m going to start a new challenge: visit all of the 88 state parks in Texas, spread out over a couple years. Will try to camp at many but not all of them. Blog posts and photos along the way. 🗺️
