Tres Rios, July 4th Weekend

Back to Tres Rios in Glen Rose, TX for the 4th of July

.

Tres Rios stands for 3 rivers.  Squaw Creek is one, Brazos river and Paluxy river is the 3rd.  The big river on the lower left is the Brazos.  Squaw Creek is in the April blog and I did not get a picture of the Paluxy.

One day we went into Glen Rose and took the “River Walk” along the Paluxy.

Pretty entrance with paved sidewalks.

 

Can you see the viewing deck in the center of the picture?

The river walk ends at a small dam at the “Big Rocks” park.

 

 

Here are the Big Rocks.

A different part of the park had a short historic walk.  Here is the original Lanham Mill Schoolhouse.

 

On to the Wheeler-Epps-McMahon house which was moved to this park.

I missed getting the name on this house.  It was larger and and from the early 1900’s.

Then there was CPL Rhett Butler’s memorial.

The temperatures were in the 100’s the whole weekend, so our walks were in the LATE evenings.  We did make it to the pool a couple of times, but did not take any pictures.
