Lake Livingston

Sunday was overcast and grey with a promise that the sun just might break through.

We decided to drive over to Lake Livingston State Park and possibly hike a couple of trails. Lake Livingston is very pretty and on a warm, sunny day would be gorgeous, but due to the recent heavy rains there was lots of water lying around and it was chilly, so after a drive around and a walk around the marina we gave up on the idea of the hike.

After leaving the park we drove over to the townsite of Swartwout
