Ink’s Lake State Park

Our objective on this journey is to check out areas with more affordability for relocation. When planning this trip, we decided it wasn’t realistic to bowl through state after state, while the summer was wasting away. Thus the stops at Natl’ Parks and lakes.
We’ve finally figured out that with school out and our route fluctuating, choice locations on weekends are not going to happen. Knowing that, we haven’t been making plans on the weekends knowing that we may have to sleep in parking lots. Sunday through Thursday we can usually get into pretty choice sites at campgrounds. Places really clear out during the week and it gets nice and quiet. Very peaceful!
Our stay at Ink’s Lake has been nice. My inflatable paddle board is a little irritating, as I knew it would be. This type of board feels more like you’re riding on top of the water -vs- being connected to your board and cutting through the water. We both feel they have too much bounce and limited maneuverability. We figured that was the case after researching inflatable boards.
Still worth it! Being out on the water always recharges our souls. It’s such an adventure to go around a bend of the lake and see different wildlife or something different in the landscape, etc.
As far as moving to Texas…I’m not so sure. The people are extremely nice and engaging. The landscape is very diverse, so we know we could find something we like. Many of the small towns are quaint with a lot of social activity. But the only water I would want to live on so far would be Canyon Lake or the Guadalupe River, both of which are overpriced and overcrowded! And the heat is mighty intense!
Heading north out of Texas from here.
