Full Time RV Travel–Lake Texana Has Water–I’m so Happy!

and was thrilled to find that Lake Texana actually has water in it. . .so happy!

Lake Texana
This is the best view we’ve had since we left Estes Park in June. . .love looking out over the water!
Lake Texana
The water hyacinth, seen here, and the hydrilla. . .
both highly invasive plants in Texas Lakes are everywhere,
so it will be tough fishing from the bank. . .
but we are certainly going to give it a try.
Lake Texana
however. . .swimming is NOT on the agenda,
but I will be on the lookout for an alligator to get a shot at. . . with the Nikon, of course.

After my tribulations of not being able to peddle back up the hills
in Columbus, I was thrilled to find a nice, flat bike path here
that meanders it’s way for five miles alongside the lake,
and through the beautiful oak and pecan trees. . .

My plan is to be out there on it everyday. . .
and would love to do the entire five miles before we leave here. . .

More on that later. . .as the week progresses!

    1. yes, the flowers themselves are beautiful, but the plant is a noxious weed that the State of Texas is going to great lengths to get rid of. . .we love this area, it was a long time ago that we used to bring our boys to this lake in a pop up trailer. . .good memories!

  2. Water hyacinths are a real problem on some refuges. They choke out everything else. :(

    1. they are a huge nuisance, and the hydrilla is even worse. . .so much so, that conservationists at Caddo Lake have put up a fence between the Louisana and Texas border. . .in the lake, as Texas Parks and Wildlife tries to keep it from spreading further. . .just terrible. . .
