Buescher State Park, 10/3/14 - 10/5/14

17. This was a group camping trip to celebrate Jen's birthday.  We Scamped at site #7 with Jen and Jeremy (in their tent), Stacy and her friend Carol had site #8 in Stacy's Big Mama RV, Liz and Ken tented in the walk-in area.  Several of us rode our bikes on Park Road 1C that connects Buescher to Bastrop State Park.  It is a road known for steep hills and windy curves, and was quite a challenge. We also spent some time in Smithville - the boys went to the Bone Distillery, the gals went antiquing. We didn't do any hiking this trip, but Aaron and Jeremy did fish a little from the bank of the lake. There are several CCC-built buildings dating to 1933-1939, the dam, and Park Road 1C, from when the CCC built both parks.
