We’re ensconced at Lake
Whitney State Park through June 30th and are enjoying our volunteer
jobs Park Hosting. Our commitment as Park Hosts is to engage a combined
minimum of 25 hours per week in our assigned duties – or about 13 hours, as we
do our volunteering together; duties
which for the most part is picking up litter, cleaning the fire pits, assisting
& advising campers when we notice minor rules violations or when they are in
need of assistance.
Lake Whitney is a fairly large lake, maybe 20 miles long,
and boasts great fishing. We haven’t
tried fishing yet but will soon. The State
park can accommodate maybe 300 individual camp sites, many with full hook-ups,
some with only water & Electric, and some tent only sites. There are also several enclosed individual screen
shelters. The park also has a 2000 ft. landing strip for small aircraft.
The nearby town of Whitney is just about 4 miles and has a population
of just over 2000. The nearest WalMart is in Hillsboro, TX – about 16 miles
from Whitney. We’re roughly 70 miles
South of Dallas/Ft. Worth. Stop in and
see us!
