A profitable state park brings in more money than it requires to maintain the park. This allows funding for other state parks that might have important issues of their own. People from all over love this park ,and it's popularity helps the entire park system. Sounds like a winner to me Best of luck to Galveston and those that were effected.

Something about that statement bothers me... a Park that's profitable. Don't get me wrong and I'm glad that it'll be rebuilt but the only profitable parks should be Disneyland... I've never agreed to those "use" fees for public facilities. I guess it's just a sign of those $700 Billion financial times we're living in. I'm thinking of mortgaging my buses on Junk Mortgage Status and absconding with the funds and the bus. Idea? -----Original Message----- From: ATX BUS Sent: Sep 22, 2008 4:09 PM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: no more Bulligras??? There was a recent article about the Galveston Parks in our paper. http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/sports/stories/outdoors/09/21/0921ikeparks.html The good news is that the park will be rebuilt and it will be a high priority because it is one of the few parks in the Texas park system that is actually profitable.

Those pictures made me so sad. It was our favorite place to camp. The kids are really sad they don't get to go shell hunting on the beach anymore. When you think of something Paul, let us know. That campout was great and it would be sorely missed. Prigmore Clan '55 Kombi
