Camp Lone Star - March 24-26, 2023
Erin ready for her second weekend visit to Camp Lone Star in La Grange, TX
Alex missed out on 2 of 3 visits due to the COVID hysteria
Kelsey in front of the cabin the confirmation class will stay in
Looking for 1970's landmarks, Erin photos the old basketball court
Camp Lone Star's lake for canoeing is currently very low
Looks like there won't be much canoeing this weekend!
Canoe storage shed is now 100 feet from the water with the cafeteria and meeting rooms off to the right
Meagan sits in the gazebo where confirmation classes will be held
Erin up bright and early on Saturday morning
Look inside the meeting rooms within the cafeteria building
Erin captures the pool looking for landmarks dad might recognize
This turns out to be a newer pool than dad swam in back in 1979
Rustic stage and seating for performances
Beyond the trees is the high and dry canoe shed
You'd have to carry your canoes farther than you can paddle it
Wooden platform usually floats for easy canoe to water access
Gathering place across the lake where they'll do their sunday morning skit
Obstacle course appears to need a little more preparation
The group will sing around a fire later tonight (Saturday)
Blessed to arrive at the end of March for the bluebonnets
Another cabin for staying overnight in the new air conditioned era
Great view of the outdoors with bluebonnets and pleasant temperatures southeast of La Grange, TX
Cross outside of the red cabin
Let's checkout the Tree Chapel!
Old tree with long extend branches that spands across a meeting area
Great place for another confirmation lesson
Find a nice field of bluebonnets while walking the grounds
Also come across an old barn/nature center
Walk around and check out the interior
Old farming equipment left to rust outside
A fortune in gold coins are buried (and lost) on the property
The land was donated to become in Camp Lone Star in 1941
Erin poses with red cabin that has a box of mail at the door
Find deer & other animal tracks in the sand of the dried lake bed
The 8th graders play a game hopping across the stumps
Jump carefully are you will regret it!
The jump from highest to lowest is the most difficult
Erin's pose in the bluebonnet field will be her official confirmation photo
