Palmetto State Park (Texas)

We got back from our 2nd trip in Podimus. We spent Friday - Monday at Palmetto SP near Gonzales, Tx. Oh my goodness! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Sunny with a high temp of 70 and cold nights. The type of weather when I find my groove! We did some trail riding/walking and a little fishing (very little since they weren't biting). We camped with our friends who just finished building their own camper - their maiden voyage.

Now about the park. It is a small park in reference to the amount of camp spots, but it is spread out and good sized. The campsites are roomy, but a lot are not level. We didn't have trouble leveling our Pod tho. Very quiet and relaxing. The park is far off any busy roads. And since there was no moon it was awesomely dark with good star gazing. I would imagine that the star gazing would be difficult when the trees have foliage as there are many trees and they provide almost complete shade in other seasons. All the structures in the park were built by the CCC back in the 30's and 40's (guessing the time frame). Very interesting construction and quite gorgeous in a historical way. The palmettos are so out of place in Texas they make you feel like a dinosaur is going to come lumbering out of them any second. An intriguingly interesting place.

This is a link to some phone pics that I took. Forgot our cameras! Argh!

Oh, yes! How could I have forgotten Bucee's! Even tho we have one in our hometown of New Braunfels we still had to stop. Just as amazing and crowded as ever. And I agree, if you are near one, you should stop - it's an experience.

I love Buckees
