Camping at Bastrop SP

We have been camping here for four days the SETPUCCer's do a Christmas camp out we liked the idea of camping in a place we have never been so we come here on the 25 and lucky us we got full hook ups we are staying here for 10 days and is good to have full huck ups never done that So far it has been a great experience the park is huge there a tone of trails we have done red and blue to orange do not know how long we walk my I-pod die and lost the sensor had to go back and find it We have 3 members of the SETPUCC is good to know friend that enjoy the out doors like we do kids have friends We allways meet the peaple that camp next to us and if they have kids even better my kids will have more friends to play with some times I don't see my kids until is lunch or dinner and then they are off again There are no night critters It has been cold for the last two days can't do a fire the said the lost 40 acres due to a fire and it has been too dry one of the ranger said it had to rain 1ft of water for them to lift the ban it got really cold last night we have a small heater that keep the pop-up at a good temperature (76) the highest too hot we keep it at 71 but last night the furnace was on(did not know that) but was in the lowest setting 50 so last night must have gotten down to 50 for the furnace to come on and the other heater was not doing much wow Today we took the kids to the park very nice we hike 1/2 a mile to it and violla we where there we had to go back to start the roast that Sam is really looking forwards.

Thanks giving camp out

Sorry it took me a while We drove there and the roads look so different, we thought we where lost and taking the wrong way Sam said let's call our GPS (AKA Pa-pa) and he told us we where right on track it was getting dark don't really like the time change, the office was still open the park was packed, all sites where taking but 3 so we pick #8 right across from the Bathrooms not that we need it we have a bathroom /shower in the pop-up and we are not afraid of use it we did see a lot of hard wall travel trailer's going to them not us we took the time to washed the gray and black tanks so they don't stick the say was great I got to see more of the park and it is great all the trails they have are so wide no way you'll get lost and it look fun riding a bike (I don't have one but if I did it will be much fun) I make some of the thanks giving dinner at home so all I had to do was cook it the ham was too big for the oven in the pop up so I had to take the bone and cook it with out it turn out fine the stuffing not so hot I have never make stuffing my hubby like it a lot to me I don't care but I try making it and it turned not so good next time I will pay attention how people do it I had a bag of rolls and all day I was cooking the EXTRA ones and we where eating them we took the Directv with us and it worked we can watch all the Chanel's some campers came and look to see how Sam did it so I told him he can go and help them he did and they got to watch the game some times we make great friends with our surrounding campers this trip none they where not out going happy campers such a shame My I pod die and I got the computer but no charger ha ha lucky me some one had a I phone with a charger yahoo The area was putty bad they had to cut so many trees after Ike pass Lake Livingston some trees where lift and you could see the roots they are still working on it it really looks bad I think they should send an e-mail and ask those who like the park to come and stay for free and help clean up I will do it hate to see such a great park in such a bad shape. It rain on us it was windy and cold out side so it was good we had the TV and dish kids had a great time lots of trees on the ground to Clim jump or whatever our next camp out is after Christmas boy that's a long time We are going with the SETPPUC group The park had lots of trails they also let you hike and camp on the way I'd like to do that but I don't have the stuff to do it may be next year and you know it could be cold so I'll just stick to hiking and coming back to the pop up till next time Have a Merry Chiristmas everyone
