8/28/09 - Lake Conroe, TX






We took Martha to the National Forest ranger station so she could buy an America the Beautiful Senior Pass. Then we went on a short hike on some trails near the campground. We saw a Gulf Fritillary butterfly on a Monk's Cap flower and a small snake of unknown species. A cold front and rain came through just as Jim was making baked chicken and rice and apple cobbler in his dutch ovens. We had to cover the dutch ovens with umbrellas to keep the rain from putting out the coals.
