Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas. March 1-6, 2026


 February 28, we traveled to San Angelo State Park.  We only stayed 1 night to travel on to Palo Duro Canyon State Park.  We went out to eat at the Angry Cactus and were enjoyed this cool restaurant. The food was so very good.  I ordered a Bloody Mary that I should have taken a picture of - because it was picture worthy!  And yummy!! I also ordered the salmon and Kurt had the blackened catfish.  Both were presented well and tasted just like it looked.



After we got back to camp, we relaxed and witnessed a beautiful sunset.



March 1 we arrived at Palo Duro Canyon. We spent the next 3 days hiking this beautiful State Park.


















The Lighthouse.  I think it should be renamed to Big Red.
This little dude wanted my apple, so I tossed it to him.

Tito was fascintated with him.

Choke Canyon State Park, Texas. February 26 - March 1

 Our next campground was Choke Canyon State Park, Texas. Choke Canyon is known for its birding trails and the lake.  It was a very hot day when we arrived!



 Friday and Saturday we hiked through the brush and went to the bird sanctuary.  The lake was very low, but we saw lots of birds, including the Green Jays, and other wild life.
