Texas - Lockhart State Park

We traveled a whopping 42 miles on Monday, from Canyon Lake to Lockhart, Texas.  Lockhart, Texas is the start of the Chisholm Trail and the home of Texas Barbeque.

We didn't partake of the barbeque but we did eat at Henry's, which is famous for it's hamburgers.  We came across this impressive structure but am not sure what it is.   At the time I was going up the wrong way on a one way street (in the car not the motorhome) and Clark took this pic!

We are camped at Lockhart State Park built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the early 1930's.  Part of the park is a nine hole golf course also built by the Corp.  We are camped right across from one of the fairways.

This morning we bundled up and went for a walk around the park.  Came across a CCC Trail and even though it looked sketchy we headed up it.  It wasn't maintained and we did have a few obstacles to climb over but we made it to the top.

The CCC constructed a cistern, a rec hall and three waterfalls across the stream going through the park.

I can't swim so I better not be here when it floods!

Just outside our door is a live oak and there are birds flitting to and fro constantly.  I have managed to capture a couple of the bluebirds.
