Wednesday Whatever - Lake Brownwood State Park

Two weeks ago, Ray and I went to San Saba to hang with Aunt Pat. Fortunately that Friday proved cool (40s) but sunny and nice. Time to hit a state park. Lake Brownwood is 1-1/2 hours away. 

This is the Grand Staircase off the Lakeside Trail. It's a grand piece of construction from the Civilian Conservation Corp (1946-1950s). We are fortunate to enjoy their hard work. 

Ray got to the bottom first. It was not a race.  But you can see how pretty the lake and area are even in January.  We had the place to ourselves (a benefit of retirement!)

Here I am, happy as a clam after a picnic lunch. Almost ready for our short hike. 

I have a Texas State Park Pass and we hope to take advantage of the variety of parks/lakes throughout the state. 

Enjoy your own "backyard"!
