Thursday, January 11, 2007 Daingerfield


This past weekend Craig and I went to Daingerfield State Park in Daingerfield, TX. We got there after dark and there were only two other campsites filled in our area. We setup in site #13. It was pretty cold and dark when we setup. Very dark. The park is small and heavily wooded with lots of tall pine trees mixed with overgrowth. The next day we went hiking on a nice wooded trail that leads to the opposite side of the park. The lake is small and clean. The sky was clear, making for fantastic reflections on the water. Later that day we drove into historic Jefferson & meandered around downtown. It is a hodgepodge of antique stores and mom & pop shops, including a general store. Not a whole lot there, but it was interesting & quaint. The tip of Big Cypress Bayou starts here as well, which leads all the way to Caddo Lake in Uncertain, TX. That was cool because we love exploring the sloughs and bayous of Caddo Lake by boat.













The next two pics are of Craig & I at Tyler State Park the previous weekend. That weekend was COLD & RAINY!!! We still had a great time though...

Xochitl

We got a new puppy just before Xmas. She is an Italian Greyhound. We named her Xochitl (pronounced "So-cheel") which is an Aztec word for flower. Actually we chose her name from the tortilla chips that we buy. You can check them out here

Here are a few pics of Xochitl from the past 2 weekends when we took her camping...
