Saturday, November 22
It was 42 degrees in the morning. I got to get me some warmer gloves. Bye!
REVIEW: Abilene SP site 50 $30
Not close enough to Abilene to be convenient to I-20
But it was an okay state park, especially if you’re on your way to places farther south.
Our site surface was asphalt, once upon a time, but old and crumbly. It was really only long enough for the motorhome but we squeezed our jeep in by overhanging the motorhome at the back of the site. Water and electric worked okay.
There were lots of low trees on the roads in the campground, but they’d been trimmed back adequately. The sites were mostly full sun.
The was no campground host in our loop (Brushy Trail), but since it's November there didn’t seem to be a need for one. There weren’t a lot of people camping; it was very quiet except for a little traffic noise from the road running alongside the park.
The restrooms were nice, big, and clean enough.
The bird blind was stocked and maintained, but there weren’t any birds to speak of. Since it was November, the summer birds were gone and the winter birds weren’t hungry enough to be going for the birdseed. The park has a pretty nice little network of walking trails; they’re not marked very well, but since the whole park’s circumference is less than three miles, it would be hard to get lost on them.
TRIP NOTES:
Pack everything you want to eat; grocery stores are unreliable and a pain in the butt.
Go back to Catalina State Park sometime soon.
Be more selective about restaurants to eat at. Remember what I said about seafood in small cities away from the coast. But plan more breakfasts!
