July 4th Weekend

Not wanting to pull a long haul for the holiday weekend we made plans with friends to spend the weekend at Thousand Trails Colorado River in Columbus, Texas.  Less than an hour from home and a really nice campground.  You no longer have to be TT members to camp there, now you can just call and make a reservation and show up.

Good thing we made our own plans, cause the park that the Boomers were going to burned in a brush wild fire the week before the 4th.  Sad news, nice park, a number of lost rigs. 

We had campsites right on the river, as low as it was.  Still a nice place to be.  Some of us had shade and late comers like us had none.  We gathered under the shade and had a nice breeze from across the river most of the time, so sitting out talking and eating wasn't bad.  They had a nice pool with was shady from around 2PM on.  We could use the game room to meet and play games in.  We had a great weekend with friends.  What better way to celebrate the 4th?








Deer were every where in the park.  Usually in groups of 10 - 20.  Never had my camera with me when we saw the large groups.
