Bastrop State Park - 01-22-2012, 08:48 PM

Critique: NC:

I drove up to Bastrop SP this morning. It was kind of a dreary day. I was kind of surprised at how well things are going there. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the park is still closed and it's severely damaged. But knowing how nature works, I can see that, with a little help, the turnaround won't be all that long.

The cabins do not seem to have been touched. Most of the trails are still closed. There has been a lot of work done to clear the trees that can't be salvaged from the side of the road. They chipped up a lot of the trees that couldn't be saved and mulched the bare areas in some places. I assume that they cut the dead trees down to prevent them from falling on the road (or car) once the tree starts to decay. A lot of the trails are probably closed for the same reason.

When I was young we lived in El Paso and every year the grass was burned in all the yards. The grass came back and looked great. I suspect that the same thing will happened there. Will just take longer with the trees.
