Day 98 – East Texas Ramble Part 2

Day 98 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

San Augustine Campground

I set my alarm last night to get up and watch the solar eclipse, but it was too cloudy.  Oh well, in another lifetime I guess!  This morning the dogs and I took the trail from the San Augustine Campground. The campground is operated by the City for either short-term or long-term residents.  As a result, the restrooms may have been the best of any campgrounds I’ve been to so far. 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

Day 97 – East Texas Ramble

Day 97 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

With my belly full from two cinnamon rolls and a cup of coffee and VANilla decorated with Mardi Gras beads, compliments of Pat and Gerald, I ventured southwest to Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, a little over an hour outside of Houston in East Texas. 

Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge

I talked my Uncle Casey into joining me literally in the middle of nowhere.  If I hadn’t been meeting him, I probably would have turned around.  I arrived at the east entrance of the Refuge at the same time Casey arrived at the west, 6.5 miles apart.  We spent the morning walking around a pond and driving 15 miles of gravel roads looking at a variety of birds.
