Palmetto State Park


Life's better outside (especially when it's warm)









Today we took our bicycles and toured Palmetto State Park, one of the many state parks in Texas. This park was named for the dwarf palmetto found in the swamps in a 289 acre tropical refuge in the middle of the brush country.




The San Marcos River also flows through this park about 14 miles south of Luling. We're looking forward to the canoe trip!!





















At a bend in the San Marcos we came across trees full of roosting buzzards. It was an impressive sight but these birds sure are ugly!
