We left Fontainebleau, jumped onto Interstate 10, and kept moving west. We spent one night back at Chicot State Park and then drove on into Texas.
Our destination was a campground northwest of Dallas on Lewisville Lake called Hickory Creek. It was a great oasis in the midst of a highly urbanized area. The lake is big, with lots of homes, boating, swimming, and fishing. Our little corner of the lake was quiet and peaceful. There were multiple areas for camping on or off of the lake. We chose to camp of of the lake because waterfront sites usually fill up, they tend to be closer together, and there is a lot more noise and action. We prefer peace and quiet and less crowding.
We really enjoyed the paved walking trails that wound through the woods, around the lake, and connected the campgrounds together.
Spring was just getting started, and the wildflowers were beginning to appear.
Aaron had to spend a couple of days driving back and forth to Dallas for work, and while he was gone, Murphy and I kept busy in a little cove of the lake. It was like we had our own private nook. The geese kept an eye on us and were not super happy that the dog was swimming in their water. Murphy, on the other hand thought they wanted to play and swim with him.
We were fortunate that we had lovely weather for the week. This was a wonderful, peaceful campground and a great place to call home for the week. Once the week came to an end, it was time to pack and head north a bit into Oklahoma. We had a reservation at Lake Thunderbird outside of Oklahoma City and it was time to wander that direction.
