Texas - Lake Corpus Christi State Park

Moved away from the coast for a week to see if we could dodge the rain but no luck.  I would complain louder but the lakes and land are in dior need of moisture.
kind of hard to fish from this pier

Lake Corpus Christi is 20+ feet low
There was a fire across the lake on Christmas Day that smoldered, went underground on the barren lake bed and reignited causing a 5 mile burn.

Our campsite is spacious and quiet.  We like the state parks that have full hookups.


 We went for a walk around the camp as the sun started to shine and took some pics of the bird life.  We have put out feeders but so far nothing has ventured near.  Maybe tomorrow.
Northern Mockingbird
Cardinal
Great Blue Heron hunched up against the rain
just ducks!

Went looking around the park again and found the old park headquarters built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. between 1933 and 1934.  They built with the local limestone and the buildings are still in good shape.
