Camp Texlake




This past weekend we went camping with some friends at Camp Texlake, which is a Girl Scout camp, but in the off-season they have family camp too. We had a nice cabin with everything in there except a kitchen. We also had a nice private camp fire ring that drew in a little visitor--Mr. Fox. Apparently he just sat about 5 feet away from Duane at night and watched the camp fire with him. I think his main mission was to get any s'more remnants he could find. He ended up chewing the heck out of a Capri Sun pouch too.
On Saturday we hiked around and later in the afternoon we did archery for about an hour. It's a nice area, and very secluded from the city. It was unfortunate that the lake was so low as we were not able to do any boating or fishing.
The recent rains had brought in about 5 boat docks from other locations on the lake. One of them alone appeared to be about a $500,000 dock. That was quickly found however because the wealthy woman who owned it had a GPS system on it that tracked it. I have to laugh when a boat ramp costs more than my house!
Anyway, we had a nice time, and it was nice to get out of the city for awhile.
