Spring Break "Next2Nature" Classes Were Great Fun!

We had great times together at the Pavilion in our Spring Break Next2Nature classes, learning about Grapevine Lake, the wildlife here, and the Cross Timbers Forest surrounding the campground. With an array of very interesting speakers, all were encouraged to get outside more and enjoy our parks and lakes. We had a few days of light rain, but it didn't stop us from getting together to listen, learn, laugh and make a few fun crafts!

FISHING on Grapevine Lake
Workampers Mike and Nancy McCutcheon shared secrets Sunday morning about where and how to fish on Grapevine Lake; especially the best Bass fishing places near the campground and on the southside of the lake.

Mike—a fishing guide—brought Lake maps to identify the best places to fish, rods and reels for everyone to try out, and tips on bait and lures. He menitoned several tournaments and encouraged others to try them out. Both Mike and Nancy have received trophies for being
the best in several Bass Fishing tournaments..

At the end of the morning, all of the children got to choose their favorite slippery, crawdad fishing lure as a campground keepsake. The McCutcheon's will be back in April for a more in-depth class on fishing Grapevine Lake.
