Inks Lake State Park

On 10 Apr, I finally got to escape (though for just a night). I went up to Inks Lake State Park, which is in the Hill Country by Burnet TX. I had wanted to stay longer, but they only had the one night open, plus I need to get back to Mom. I will be adding some pics as soon as I find the adapter. Did not get to try out my shower, as I found out they failed to add in the shower hose, so I could hook-up to water. I did use the bathhouse, which was nice, clean and warm. Took a hike and while walking, close to the water, I heard a bunch of water movement, but I couldn't see anything. Initially thought maybe it was an otter, but later saw some big fish. I found out later that they were knocking the eggs loose. Maybe you can figure out the fish type when I post the pics. Glad I got in the walk now as it would be quite hot to do it later in the year. It was an out and back hike, but I did some of the back part via the road as I didn't want to climb up and down any more boulders. There were some other folks close by and they had to come look at my RV and they were quite impressed. They invited me to have some drinks and use their grill, but I'm not into drinking and needed to practice with the grill. Stopped by the RV dealer on the way back and got my silverware drawer (another missing item) and told them about the water hose. They said they were out and that I could just buy one. That didn't set too well with me since I feel that since I paid over $75,000 for it that I should get everything coming. I did end up picking up a hose; however, I will still get the one from them since I've read about some camp sites that need the additional hose length.
