Public Parks


Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

The Bibe reports are now all finished. Wow the Teams miss that place. There is always a new place to search out there. Bibe is only one of the four large parks in that area. Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Black Gap Wildlife Management Area, and Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area are all huge parks in this area for the public to enjoy.

The four parks together are over 1,227,310 acres or more than 1917 square miles of playgrounds. That will be hard to search all of that in my lifetime remaining. To put it another way the parks together are larger than the state of Rhode Island. Now that is a lot of fun waiting to happen.

Back on the local scene a few fish are being caught. The red tide event last winter seems to have really set the fish catching back several notches this year. Here is our friend Mike with two of the legal but small trout recently caught.



The Teams did a bit of riding around this afternoon trying to get out of the dreary wet overcast weather. It was a partial success. A tree near a ball field looks like it might have lots of interesting stories to tell if we could understand its language.

Tomorrow promises to be an interesting day as BB and the OFM hit the golf course for the purpose of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
