We have never been in this part of Texas so when I could tear Dick away from watching the work being done the coach we did go on a couple of day trips. Nacogdoches is know for its Azalea's so we went to find them at the Ruby Maze Azalea Garden. We walked trough the Mast Arboretum and entered through here.
There were hundreds of different varieties and colors.
Here is a Mexican Dogwood
Much different than ours and much different than the dogwoods in Texas.
On another one of our day excursions we went out to find a little lake not to far away called Caro Lake. We drove up the highway and back down and took some side roads then realized that the entrance road we were looking for looked more like a dirt driveway. We drove in and came across a locked gate. There were no signs that said private property or no trespassing so we ventured inside and found a great little lake with a house and some rental looking boats.
Wild flowers around Caro Lake. We still don’t know what the property is used for.
Next stop was the demonstration garden and lunch.
More to come from Nacogdoches.
