Lake Meredith National Recreation Area – Fritch, Texas
The view from our camping spot is unbelievable. We sit on top of a hill overlooking the reservoir. The blue of the water is almost like an aquamarine against the red clay rocks surrounding it. We arrived on a Sunday and every site was taken. Boats, jet skis and kids on floats were enjoying every minute of the beautiful day. The evening sky was filled with stars since there were minimum lights below. We were both so excited because we witnessed a shooting star.
By Monday afternoon, the weekend warriors dissipated and few of us remained. The quietness of the campsite matched the serenity of scenery. That morning, we decided to kayak on the reservoir and answer the beckoning call of the water. During the entire trip we only saw one small fishing boat off in the distance. What a relaxing way to spend the day.
The only part I was not thrilled about was the times the wind decided to kick up – and I mean kick up. Our 5th wheel which weighs about 16,000 lbs was no match for the wind. Inside it felt like I was a bobbling head doll. Thankfully, before we went to sleep it calmed own or I would have been up all night worrying if the trailer was going to tip on its side.
As we drove through Texas we would keep seeing these” Historical marker” signs. Since, we are a curious bunch, we found out there are 16,000 historical makers throughout the state of Texas. No wonder we kept seeing them.
I had no idea how big the state of Texas really is. We will be back this way again, however, for now, we are chasing the 70’s and heading north.
