My third trip with the new to me TT was a return to SLRSP for a week stay before Thanksgiving. We were surprised to run into a couple we met five years ago while hosting at the park in 2014 and having a reunion with two former volunteers from back then. We also saw a couple we met in September at Inks Lake.
The turkeys were hard to find this trip but there were armadillos everywhere. The hiking trails in the hills are in great shape and I enjoyed a night hike and brilliant night sky. The park is a designated IDA Dark Sky Park https://www.darksky.org/texas-south-...dark-sky-park/ One unique thing on this trip was watching a female Blackbuck, in a neighboring exotic ranch, deliver a fawn. We just happened to passby at the right moment. In addition, we saw plenty of Whitetail deer, feral hogs and a couple of foxes.
One note about the park staff: I noticed on a prior post about the park a reference to someone getting a ticket for being loud. The same law enforcement ranger from 2014 is still there and he's a fair person but doesn't put up with much. If you persist in violating the law you'll be ticketed. That's the kind of law enforcement I want to see happen when camping. Quiet time starts at 10PM.
