They have cottages, a lodge, RV park and campground plus lots to do. Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff. Their website looks great. We'll be at the mercy of Southwest and rent-a-car this trip, so the lodge would work well. It's kinda close to Bend, but how would you get there from there? Yeah, probably get there from Austin. We used to drive out to Burnet and Lake Buchanan from Georgetown when we were courting in college. What a neat area.Re: ~Post your campsite photos here~ HECUBUS wrote: Hello David, First of all thanks for teaching the kids. We call that a barn. We live in Austin but, get out to Bend as often as we can. A local Texas guy, Wayne Diven, builds those barns (www.wdmb.com). He does an excellent job and you can design and order off his web site. I would highly recommend him if you weren't so far away. I had an old post with pictures of the construction. If you wanted more details, you could look up my old post, I think it's my first one. -Hec OK, I'm a fan. Found all your early photos, read all your posts, and you guys have a great family thing going. Appreciate all the good info, cooking tips (a love of mine), and local Hill Country lore. We visit our Texas family a couple of times each year and may make a run up through your area in early March.

I sorta hoped to hear "Sunproof, northerproof, floodproof, full-hookup, family outpost with room for visitors. Anyhow, thanks for the reply. Now I know a little more about the Colorado Bend Park and other things upriver from the Great Lakes of Texas. I'll check on your friend's website and see what else I can learn. Happy trails, DavidRe: ~Post your campsite photos here~Site #1 Bend, Texas, September 30th 2007. Hello HECUBUS, I'm an old Texas boy, but I had to Google Bend TX. Went to college in Georgetown, taught school a year in Comfort, and love the Hill Country. What do you call the metal building structure in the photo? I dream of a place with that type of shelter/breeze-catcher over our 5er. Do you live there or is it just storage. Whatever... it looks great! I would appreciate any thoughts you would care to share on your Site #1 setup, either on the forum or in a private message. Best wisher, David
