There is a place in Calhoun Co.  It is called McCully Wetlands.  It has
facilities and everything we need.

Sorry to hear about you weather related travels.  Big Bend is a neat park.

I do not think there is any place to have it in Calhoun County.  Marquette
Park is right by there and would be a good place.

I just got back from my AZ trip that turned into a trip to TX.  We got to
Organ Pipes National Monument expecting a warm and dry back pack in the
desert.  The first problem was most of the park, including where we wanted
to go, was closed due to safety issue from border issues (drug running and
illegal crossings).  Then the rain came and it rained it rained.  It looked
like a wetland, not a desert.  It was supposed to rain for 2 more days non
stop.  So we gave up and headed for the Grand Canyon.  The forecast was for
an inch of snow.  We got to within 30 miles of Flagstaff (right at 6,000
feet) and hit a blizzard.  The weather radio said they were going to get 2
feet.  So we turned back to the rain in the lower elevations and got a
motel.  Then we headed for Big Bend National Park in TX.  It was warm and
dry and a very neat spot.  We ended up driving 4,444 miles and I took over
400 pictures.
