[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] ooh
[speaker001:] uh wow I don't know what that was I don't know
[speaker002:] what what was that and uh to um  the Brazos River near Dinosaur Valley State Park
[speaker001:] um-hum oh yes uh-huh um the we have not camped in any of those places in fact it has been a number of years since we have camped but we used to go to Tyler State Park and um to Dangerfield and
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] in Texas that is where we camped basically um
[speaker002:] what are they like
[speaker001:] they're very nice Tyler is really really a neat place to camp it has a nice a nice little lake and it has some really wonderful uh sights that are in the the wooded areas um the facilities are quite nice and our children like liked it quite well uh the kids are well they were quite a bit younger then and uh you know it they we felt real um safe with their being able to do what they would like to do there in the area and uh it was just it was a really nice place to to camp
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] um now Dangerfield is let's see I think that's a little bit more more east further east and maybe south if I am remembering where that is no I think it's a little bit further north when I think about it at any rate it was it was very nice as well but Tyler we sort of got spoiled with I think
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh we had lived in Michigan before we came here and um had done a lot of camping in Michigan I think the upper peninsula of Michigan especially and then also we had done some camping in Colorado in the mountains so uh my parents were real avid campers and my husband's parents were really avid campers as well so I guess we just kind of came by it naturally
[speaker002:] yeah um
[speaker001:] do you um have a large tent or
[speaker002:] yeah it was a a nine by twelve uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh-huh and how how many does that sleep uh comfortably
[speaker002:] well there well supposedly it it's they always say it sleeps more than it does
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] but it they it would have slept three adults anyway yeah
[speaker001:] yeah yeah well sort of early on especially as our children got a little bit bigger uh we invested in some stacking um cots you know that were like bunk bunk beds but they were cots fold up cots that really gave us a lot more space um floor space and
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so you didn't have to be constantly getting things off the floor in order to walk around and uh gave us a place to stack things during the day so that was real nice
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] but uh we um my my uh uh in-laws also had a camper um pop up tent tent you know one of those trailer pop ups and those are really nice too and the little more uh luxurious so to speak but not much
[speaker002:] do do they have a kitchen in them
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh it's really nice in fact it even have a had a little refrigerator and and the whole business it was quite nice in that respect and
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] uh everything was very convenient and you didn't have to to be hauling things out of your the trunk of you car so that was nice yeah
[speaker002:] trunk of your car all time right
[speaker001:] so um do you have plans for for any other camping trips in the near future
[speaker002:] oh maybe uh maybe back to Caddo or um uh Purdis Creek
[speaker001:] uh-huh right
[speaker002:] or uh I like Bob Sandlin too it's a new park
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and there is um not really camping but  um what's it called Cedar Hill
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] by Joe Pool
[speaker001:] oh yes
[speaker002:] and sometime I like to go to Eisenhower up on Lake Texoma
[speaker001:] yes yes I've been in that area that's a really pretty state park um
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] just we didn't camp there but we drove through it just one time when we were in that area and it's just real lovely it's close to the lake and close to the dam I think it's close to the dam up there so it's it's really quite pretty uh are you um let's see what was I was going to ask you something else oh do you have a favorite among all those that you have been to
[speaker002:] oh from from those three just just uh from when I have been an adult I like Caddo the best
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] is uh is it true that Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in the State of Texas
[speaker002:] yeah that's right
[speaker001:] I I would I've never been there and I would love to see what it looks like
[speaker002:] it's not it's not very deep and they did build a dam on it but it was there before they built the dam it's been there for a hundred years apparently an earth quake caused it
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh I see how interesting I guess I'd never heard the history of that huh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] well that might be some place where we my husband and I can go we're talking about starting camping again in the fall um our children are both grown and and so it's just pretty much the two of us who do things and so uh we thought we might take some weekend trips then and maybe that would be a good place to to go to and see what it looks like
[speaker002:] yeah it's really nice
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] and it I don't know probably spring is probably the busiest time anywhere in Texas yeah
[speaker001:] is it uh yeah I think so especially with uh uh when the trees start blossoming out and everything it is really very pretty especially in east Texas it's really nice so
[speaker002:] that's right uh-huh
[speaker001:] well uh I've enjoyed talking with you
[speaker002:] it's nice talking to you
[speaker001:] and um have uh uh some happy camping trips hope you get to those places you've talked about
[speaker002:] yeah you too
[speaker001:] well okay thanks uh-huh bye bye
[speaker002:] bye bye
