Coming at ya this morning from Austin Texas, state capitol of Texas..Stayed at McKinney State Park for 2 days. It's in the SE corner of Austin and only a few miles from Tom's house. Do you all remember Tom from his work at the Back Door about 3 years ago? We all visited yesterday and saw his beautiful home. He's still the go-go guy we all knew. He's got a great Labador called Turbo that's well trained. Had good conversations and shared a pizza at his place. Got back to the park about 9PM and called it a night.  Today we move down to San Antonio to see the Alamo, it's about 1 1/2hrs away. We did get a chance for a bike ride around the park and saw the upper waterfall of Onion Creek here in the park. It's an amazing outcrop of rock forming a natural dam and a waterfall. It's quite a sight to see. This park is very nice with lot's of room between campsites. They've got a pretty good scam going. The rules say no collecting firewood from park grounds but they 'sell' wood. They get $1 a log !! A log is a 20" piece about 4" around !! The way we figured it'd cost about $20 to have a 3hr fire. Jimmy oughta get in on this racket! At that rate we figure our at home bonfires were worth aguzzillion bucks. LOL ...Hope all our friends at home in Mich are surviveing the winter blast. We think of you often. See ya next post...REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY......Charlie&Heather
