2021 11\/3<\/strong> Leg 2 State Parks in Hill Country<\/h3>\n

Joan flew into Austin on a rainy Wednesday to start Leg 2 of our 2021 Autumn visit to Texas Hill Country.<\/p>\n

We interrupted the cold rain on Joan’s arrival day with an excellent hot lunch at Pho Vin on route from the airport to our campsite home. As is usual with Pho, it was excellent. The hot flavorful broth was loaded with our choice of noodles, vegetables, and our choice of various chicken, and meats. We set aside the cold and enjoyed the sunshine packed in the generous bowls.<\/p>\n

On the way to the Bluebonnet Cove RV Campground, the rain had stopped, and we noticed the beautiful Black Rock Park, a county park just above the Buchanan Dam. The park must be very busy in the summer; however, during our visit we were nearly the only people on the grounds.<\/p>\n

In addition to the usual beach areas, the park has a colorful rental fleet of kayaks and canoes, a large, well equipped RV camping area with only a few occupied sites, and a small village of rental cabins, each a different happy color.<\/p>\n
