Double Lake in Sam Houston National Forest
Fog was thick and temperature was cool for a birthday weekend at Double Lake Recreation Area of Sam Houston National Forest in Coldsprings, Texas. Lots on paved hiking trails and a hot shower and toilets close by. Although the sun never came out, the temperature was quite pleasant. The park was busy for an end of February weekend. We had power and water but no sewer since we were next to the lake. Beautiful bird watching with a bench over the water.
In the evening we were able to get about 10 channels when the antenna was raised. One local CW it get any news.
Good fire pit to keep us warm and toasty with the dried oak. Watch out for the drop off behind the RV at night. It was a doozy and a head splitter.
