Running around the Texas State Railroad Campground at an early hour didn't have a lot of delays because of stopping to pick up little treasures. It appears in fact, the little treasures were sleeping in today, especially the shiny pennies. We were taking the vintage train ride from Palistine to the State Park depot in Rusk that morning and I got to run and explore the station and the area around it. It and the campgrounds were set back in the woods, well off of the highway, and although the campground was usually well occupied, we were the ONLY people there the 1st night. It was pitch black, out in the middle of nowhere, with nobody anywhere near, and it felt like a scene out of The Twilight Zone! Anyway, the run was uneventful although there was a kids scooter near the train station. It looked very out of place but I left it where it was, and when the train stopped there later on our lunch break it was gone so obviously it made it back home. The only catch-of-the-day, the orange squirt-gun in the picture, I found along the nature trail of all places. Probably one of the squirrels, or possums, or racoons dropped it, you know how they can get, forgetting that they have to share the woods with all of us tourists, and leaving their toys scattered about. Shame on you! Anyway, lastly, thank you Creator of all things for all of the beauty, for being able to spend another day out in it, and for the wherewithal to hit the streets looking for treasures once again. Yeayuh!
