This small campground is a JEWEL in East Texas, near Crockett.
There are only 15 sites, five of which are full hookup. |
|
The first Christian church in the Texas territory was founded near this park
in May, 1690. |
A replica of the Mission is located in the park. |

A ranger led us on a 2 hour hike which included a very good history lesson on
the area and the beginning of TEXAS! |

The first two days rained, so there was plenty of time to address
the Christmas card envelopes. The cards were made on a previous camping trip in May. |

Our site at Tyler - there were three other trailers when we
arrived. |

Canton is just 35 miles West of Tyler.
The Canton "First Monday" flea market is held once a
month on the weekend before the first Monday of the month. This is LARGE. We
walked for over four hours, and maybe saw 50% of one area (there are several more
locations in or near Canton). Several purchases came home with us. |
