Anniversary camping trip

We haven't been camping in a while so we decided that our 29th anniversary was a good reason to go. We loaded up the cats and put stuff in the 5th wheel and we were off to Lake Proctor. The only park open right now is Sowell Creek and it is one of our favorites. Above is our campsite. This lake is an Army Corps of Engineers  lake with a  primary purpose of flood control. The floods of 2015 and 2016 took their toll and there is a lot of damage at all 3 parks. We enjoyed it anyway and they are hoping for budget money to repair the damage and get all 3 parks open again.

Sunsets were beautiful and the stars are brilliant on dark nights. We really enjoyed the colors and we had beautiful weather for the whole trip.

Deer were numerous, especially in the evening when they were moving and feeding. These are just a few.

This birdhouse on a tree may have been damaged by the flooding but Martha thought it was photo worthy

This is an American white pelican

I had not ever seen the white pelican but at our creek house on the Texas coast we have many Brown Pelicans. We have since sold that place but will get to visit it again next year.

   

Anyone recognize this bug?

And here is a final sunset picture. This is a great park with reasonable prices and especially so if you have a National Park pass. Hopefully the other parks will be open next year.
