We enjoyed revitalizing Avalon Park and Hackberry Ridge Pavilion area, the day use park assigned to us for the summer. We created a huge burn pile trimming trees that were crying for a "haircut". Local residents bordering the park were joyful as new views of the lake appeared when the limbs came down. We were told it had been more than ten years since the last "haircut".
The Rangers threw a party for all the Summer help at Hackberry Ridge Pavilion at the end of the season. We feasted on grilled dove, barbecued wild pig freshly harvested from Lavon's 40,000 acres, fresh caught fish from the lake and Galveston shrimp. We all brought a dessert to share. It was great to see everyone a last time since many of us would soon be departing for new adventure.
