Texarkana, August 1st
Jasper, Texas August 2nd and 3rd
After leaving the state park on Saturday morning, I continued along I-30 until I reached Texarkana, TX. I camped at a KOA near the highway, a place to do some laundry and sleep, nothing special except for the nice swing at my site.
Sunday morning was a nice drive south along Highway 59 through some small towns. I turned into Martin Dies State Park and remembered being there before. It was very hot and humid and there were not very many campers. I decided to use one of the coupons for 1/2 off a 2nd night and paid for 2 nights. My site had a view of the lake through the trees.
It was too hot to do much, I did go for short walks and short bike rides in the early mornings or right before sunset. I did a little bit of sewing in the afternoon, setting up my sewing machine on the picnic table. Mostly this was a relaxing, lazy stop along the way.
Love the large sites that are standard at most state parks.

I always wanted to visit this park, as I have heard there are nice kayak/canoe paddling trails nearby. But UGH, that humidity! I just don't think I can take it. Texas does have a lot of nice State Parks, and I am enjoying your reviews, but that is some kind of tenacity to go in August!
ReplyDeleteNice large site with a lake nearby sounds like a nice place to laze around for a day or two.
