We decided to leave the camper parked at Martin Dies and spend the day at Big Thicket National Preserve. This is one of the most interesting and beautiful places we've found in the State of Texas. We definately need to go back for a spring or early fall trip with kayaks. We stopped back at the Martin Dies Jr. Nature Center on our way back to camp.
