The weather looked great last week so we ventured out on our first trip in '09.

Someone let out the secret of the beauty at Tyler State Park. This is what it looked like when we arrived on Tuesday. The Lakeview section was full and this is Big Pine. As the week wore on more and more campers pulled in. We'd never seen it this full during the week. We're almost all the way down on the left in the picture.

We enjoyed the beauty of the blooming dogwood trees as we hiked throughout the park. I was breaking in my new hiking boots. Mel has been reading message boards on Alaska and waterproof foot gear is a must for glacier walking etc.

Hiking around the lake in the woods of East Texas is a beautiful adventure.

I read about this hamburger joint on the internet and wow what a great discovery. We go into Tyler every time we camp at the park to enjoy a Jucys' burger and the best onion rings we've ever tasted. It makes me hungry just writing about this.

Hope the weather is good in the coming weeks. We're ready to head out again soon.

Life is good!

The walking stick you're holding - did you just find it then or is it one you've had? Mel looks very contemplative from the back. Sure seems like a great place to camp.
I've had it awhile. Mel purchased a neat one when we camped in Arkansas (a whistle on the end of it). Then I decided I needed one--they sure do steady you when you're hiking through tree roots in the woods!
