Re: Cleburne State Park or "I've Waited Long Eenough!"

Well we enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Cleburne SP. You could not ask for better weather, severe clear skys, lows in upper 40's with highs in low 80's. You just have to love October weather.
The park was crowded with what appeared to be a couple of large groups. The park facilities were clean and appeared to have been painted recently. Unfortunately the bath house/park store building is probably worse than TurnKey's description. No fault of his, it is just hard to describe a delapidated building with siding falling off or missing. It was a true eyesore compared to the other facilities.
We also drove thru Dinosaur Valley as it is very close by. Chock full of scouts and their families. Did not visit any buildings so can not comment on those. However we did make the obligitory stop at the river. The rock steps/seating area was in need of a lot of attention. The river was way down and I believe has been for some time. The middle of the 'river' looked more like a forest. I have been told that situation is due to the lack of 'cleansing' floods over the past few years.
In spite of the bath house I do recommend Cleburne for those folks nearby that have never been. The only minor complaint I have is that I could the cement plant that is nearby. Do not recall ever hearing it in our other visits.
