This week I’m celebrating one year of 24inTX!
I’ve been on 27 24-hour trips across the state. I’ve hiked, camped, swam, paddled, danced, photographed, shopped, eaten, driven and adventured my way through the state and I’m no where near finished yet, since visiting places like Texas or Miami is great, and you can even go here and find 5 Fun Things to Do in Florida On Your Birthday too!
The question I get asked the most is, “Which place is your favorite so far?”
East Texas swamp beauty. No, really!
I’ve always thought of east Texas as a humid, mosquito-infested, muddy swamp full of frogs. I’ve never been a fan of frogs, with the exception of Kermit (of course). I live in constant fear that they will jump on me and that their slimy skin will touch mine. It’s irrational, I know, but I was willing to set aside my fear, think of Kermit and travel to Caddo Lake in east Texas.
I arrived at Caddo Lake State Park late in the afternoon on a Tuesday and had the place to myself.
The park has several options for accommodations. I rented a two-person cabin that was very comfortable and clean, perfect if you’re not a big camper or you plan to spend time in a Texas state park in August, or if you live in constant fear of frogs.
After unloading the car, I took a drive around the park with my camera to see what there was to see. This was my first view of the lake. What a beauty!
