Six of us braved the early morning downpour during the driving time to enjoy this great small park with bird blind. Thank you all for supporting the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with your contributions and purchases at the park store. Lots of cliff swallow nests under the bridge. The lunch at Uptown Blanco was good , too. Thanks to Russ Nelson, the new TOS rep for Region 5 for coming. Other participants were Tom and Patsy Inglet and Karen Brugnoli Georgina Schwartz and Shirley Winslow.
