Re: Guadalupe SP?

Well, what a really nice time we had at GRSP. We arrived Saturday morning and the the super friendly ranger at the entrance station assigned us spot #24. It was great, secluded, nice trees, view down the little valley and close to the trail that led down to the river.

We had a great time, hiking down along the river, and riding bikes int he park. On Sat evening, park intepreter Craig Hensley led a presentation on Owls in Texas. After a nice slide show in the amphitheater, we then went over to teh Honey Creek natural Area to try to call some owls. While there were no owls calling back, it was a beautiful night, great for star gazing.
It was a great evening, when I woke up that morning, it was also pretty chilly, 21 degrees!

We inquired about what seemd to be a lot of construction going on down near the parking area of the river section. The ranger siad they are making a huge new parking lot for summertimes when the park I would imagine get pretty crowded for folks enjoying the river. But wow, it was a HUGE lot.

I can imagine though how nice the river must be to enjoy on a hot summer day, it is just perfect, nice rock shoals, water moving along quickly. We probably will head down than there in the summer to check it out.
Enjoy the journey,
