This has been such a nice park. The area has a few more places we want to visit before we leave. Each day the park fills up at night and empties during the next day as campers continue their trek to where ever they are going. I have a few more pictures to share
.
This building called the Refractory, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a group of young unemployed men during the depression. The program was instituted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This building is used for meetings, ranger programs or just hanging out. The porch off the back has picnic tables and a pleasant view the San Marco River.
This low water area bridge connects the tenting area and the RV campground across the river.
Right now the water is almost over the bridge due to some rain.
Not much explanation needed here.
We stumbled across this wheel that has been here quite awhile for the tree to grow around it!
The vines in the area crawl up the trees and attach themselves and grow into the trees. They also create free vines thick enough and heavy enough to swing on. Just like Tarzan.
Papa thought he would give it a try!
The Vultures in the area are bigger than dogs.
They seem to gather each afternoon in the trees and on the pump house because the building warms up and the branches are in the sun.
A pretty shot of the marsh, Cypress Trees and the Dwarf Palmetto Palms
Tomorrow I think we will head into San Antonio and wander around The Mexican Market.
Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather we hear you are having.
