Re: news about State Parks

That would be a shame to have the parks unused, or at least under utilized. Some like the beach with it's sun/sand and surf, others the peacefull solitude of a small lake in the woods. Luckily we, meaning Texas parks, can accomodate those wishes. For us it is really a good news/bad news story. The increased attendance means that it is harder to get a spur of the moment reservation. On the other hand increased usage means higher revenue for the parks system, unless our fine friends in Austin have figured out a way to divert those funds as well. While I struggle of late to use our parks, I remain a strong defender of them and their right to full and complete funding.
