81. Scampsite #12. We camped in the low-voltage sites, which usually works well for us - this particular park's low-voltage sites are only 19 feet long, so it was a tight squeeze on a steep drop-off that required ALL of our stacking "lego bricks" and a rock! In the future, perhaps choose the higher-voltage sites, which also had pull-throughs. The park is beautiful, and has CCC-made features: a refectory, a bridge and a cool grill with a view of the lake. The lake is small but beautiful. The hiking trail around the lake was indeed challenging - even had stone stairs in a couple of spots!

Dinner at Zur Autobahn, a German restaurant 4 miles south of the park. Delicious!
Meridian State Park is near Meridian, the county seat of Bosque County, Hico, and Clifton. In Hico we visited a chocolatier and sampled delicious truffles, and visited 2 old steel bridges, one of which is still in use today. In Clifton we found another old steel bridge, which is no longer in use, and sampled local wines at Red Caboose Winery - try their more recent ones for the latest and greatest! Red Caboose is also located in Meridian, but the Meridian tasting room wasn't open on Sunday, when we wanted to go.
