Yep, where I got it too.
Good to see that our sporting goods taxes are being used for "sporting" instead of being dumped into the general fund.

That's awesome. I'm in process of exploring most of the parks in Central Texas.

Lake Livingston is being redone and the very popular loop by the lake is closing down at the end of March I believe for almost a year. I'm not sure if the entire park is being redone but or not, maybe it's just in sections. They are going to widen the roads and also the redo the pads and make them larger. We are headed up there for a week later today so it'll be the last time until it's redone. I will say it definitely needs to be updated because the pads and roads have really gotten bad in the last year or so. It's a nice park with tons of potential so when it's updated it should be great.

I'm looking forward to the larger pads because I really get to test my backing skills when I go up there to camp. Then, you have the audience watching to see how bad you can screw up!

Livingston is close for me enough to tow the 5th up there and then come back home and get the boat. Good to hear they are working on it. I hope they work on the boat ramps.
