On Tuesday Barbara and I landed at the Medina Lake, Thousand Trails RV park northwest of San Antonio, Texas. According to the map provided upon our arrival this park contains numerous hiking trails so this morning I decided to go explore them. This park also has a lot of deer and most are use to humans so they allow you to walk right up to them. I frequently hear that everything is bigger in Texas. This is true, in most cases, but not the deer. These are by far the smallest deer I have ever seen. Most of the bucks are the size of a medium to large dog. This RV park is very rustic. It is a lot like the state parks in California, but with electric, water and sewer connections. They do have miniature golf, a pool and a clubhouse, but not much more.
Medina Lake, as you will see is almost dry. So I asked my friend Steve if Texas is experiencing a drought and he said no. They had an extremely wet winter this past year, so I asked Steve why the lake was dry? He indicated that many of the local water suppliers who depend upon the lakes for their water are draining the lakes to make repairs to the dams.
