Re: Why aren't more pictures posted for Parks?

The goal here at WildTexas.com was always to share more photos that TPWD generally shares in its park profiles, to help assist folks in planning trips. Of course, as Justin and I have travelled and camped less and less in recent years, we haven't been the source of photos that we planned on being ourselves. Enter the Wild Texas 'Your Photos' gallery where any member here can share photos of Texas parks and recreation opportunities. It's a step in the right direction, at least.

I think TPWD's state-funded website suffers from the same thing WildTexas.com (a privately funded website) does -- a lack of time and a lack of manpower. Someone has to take the photos, process the photos and place them online, and as soon as you upload one, in some ways, it's already outdated. Parks change, especially some of the ones that are flood-prone and go through repeated flood/drought cycles (Garner, Guadalupe River, etc.)
