San Angelo TX - San Angelo State Park at OC Fisher Lake

Tuesday, November 25

Today we left Kerrville and went to OC Fisher state park in San Angelo, TX.
On the way we saw.....

No it is not snow it is cotton that is ready to be picked.  Any cotton pickers out there?

These are an example of the huge bales created after the plants are picked.  They are also creating round bales as shown below.

San Angelo state park is a large park which has both a north and south entrance. 

We obviously entered through the south.

The first road we took we saw some buffalo.  I could only get this picture which is not very good.

This is the site we chose.  We like staying in state parks because the sites are usually large and your neighbors are not real close.

From this view you can see we do have someone next to us, but in the picture above you cannot see them.  Our neighbors were already parked when Tic took the previous picture. So even though the neighbors look close in this picture, they are not.

Sitting inside the coach I thought I saw some more buffalo.  I got the camera and ran outside.  I took this picture and then realized that the buffalo are steel silhouettes. 

We took a drive around the park and finally found what is left of the lake.  The drought has devastated this lake!  Really sad.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be making some special chocolate pies to take to my brother's for Thanksgiving.  Thursday we will spend the day at my brother's place.  They are expecting 40 people.  Of the 40,12 marines from the local post will be coming.  Yearly they send an invite to the post for anyone that doesn't have any place to go for Thanksgiving to come to their house.  This year there are 12 who have accepted.
