We came to Lake Arrowhead State Park on Wednesday. You can see it has nice, paved level sites and they have some room around them. Also, we have great internet and we’re only about 15 miles from Wichita Falls, Texas. So we could get groceries and refill our propane, fill up with diesel and do the wash.
But this isn’t a place I’d come for vacation.
There’s a fairly large lake, but the water is brown. Still, folks were fishing…
and swimming.
Everything is pretty flat around here,
including the disc golf course.
The prettiest trail went up and along a levee.
The only hills were going up and coming back down the other side.
The most interesting thing on the trail was probably this culvert taking us under a road.
The park has its own old-time oil well.
I’d like it better if it weren’t working. It’s not far from our site and the low “pud, pud, pud” it makes under the clatter carries quite clearly to our site. It makes an odd backdrop to the bird calls.
Still, there is beauty in every landscape…
if you just look closely enough.
It’s spring here and the wildflowers are out. I learned that these are a hemiparisitic flower that grow from the roots of grasses. They can photosynthesize if conditions are right, otherwise they can get water and sugar from their host plant. Life constantly amazes me.
And though I had to walk a half mile to get this picture, there are Texas bluebonnets here.
So, a nice stop.
On the Roam Again 
Glad you found the beauty there – and shared it!
