Brownwood

March found us with a couple of days to roam so we headed to an old friend to use as a base for a long weekend. Coming in on Thursday allowed us to get a nice spot on the hill overlooking the lake.

 Unfortunately we were to discover Friday morning that the shower faucet did not survive the winter. Spent time mopping up water in floor only to discover leak I was unable to repair. That coupled with onset of a cold for Mary brought this little sojourn to an early end.

We camped extensively at this state park when kids were young and we had a boat. Since then kids have grown, sold the boat and central Texas is suffering from an extended drought.

 Dock where we used to park the boat.

Went under this bridge to get from dock to main body of lake. Another view can be seen on right side of picture above.

Might be a little difficult to launch boat today. Nice floating dock, now high and dry, was not there when we were boating on lake.

Next stop, a return to Tyler...
