| Little Pine Lake at Daingerfield State Park |
Stuffed with German Chocolate Cake (although my family
did help us eat it) we said our goodbyes, left West Texas and headed towards
the Louisiana border, a mere 500 miles away.
Needless to say, we were going to take a few days to get there and make
a few stops along the way.
One stop was Commerce, TX to visit our longtime friends
Chad and Resa. Years ago, we all lived
in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and spent many a day and night sailing on Lake
Grapevine. We also backpacked and camped
together. Times have changed and I guess
David and I traded the backpacking tent for an RV but we are all still
‘playing’ outdoors.

| Chad and Wyatt fishing on Cooper Lake |
We camped for two nights at nearby Cooper Lake State Park
while visiting. We had some great meals together and Chad, Resa and their son,
Wyatt met us at the park for a fun day of hiking and fishing. The lake was low
but we didn’t realize how low until David informed us that his new GPS unit indicated
that we were standing in the lake. And we
were all quite dry with the water’s edge still a good 20 yards away.

| Dogwoods in the forest |
The next day we traveled about 70 miles east to Daingerfield State Park, another new park for us. We loved the 3 mile hike around beautiful Little Pine Lake. The deep green forest around the lake was brightened with the sparkling blossoms of dogwood trees. The night was a little warm but perfect for sitting out and enjoying our campsite beside the little lake.
