     At 9 am Suzie is outside in shorts so ya know it has to be a great day !

     Just after 9 am we decided to take a scenic drive around Lake Whitney. What a wonderful drive it was,

34 miles took us a couple of hours

    First stop we made was the McCown Valley Park. What a wonderful campground here right on the lake.

kids in the water and people fishing

nice drive through the park

excellent campsites too

     Checked out the cemetery here and the free range cattle just stared at us, "whatcha doing here" I could hear them say.

you looking at me?

      More scenic drive and more Texas wild flowers, what a wonderful drive.

     Came to the Whitney Dam Powerhouse  another interesting stop along the way.

         Across the road was the Soldier's Bluff Park another very nice area, tent camping only but wonderful picnic areas and fishing as well.
