The Guadalupe River
State Park off Highway 46
had 110,000 visitors in the
weeks since it opened to the
public on June 3. And, it’s
obvious from talking to park
personnel that only the
surface of the camping need
has been touched.
Assistant Superintendent
Dave Raybin says only Phase
I of the 1900 acres has been
developed thus far for
campers. There will be Phase
II and Phase III as dollars
become available.
It was hard to imagine a
more perfect day than last
Saturday for being “out in
the country” and although
one camper dragging a tube
out of the Guadalupe said the
water was a little chilly,
there were plenty of floaters
and beach combers to wet
their feet at water’s edge.
Several fishermen were also
dropping a line further up-
stream and one stood almost
waist deep in the fishing area
where turquoise water
pooled a little deeper. Quilts
were spread on the Bermuda
grass for several nappers and
picnicers were scattered all
over.
The cypress trees were
beginning to take on a
cinnamon hue to remind folks
that fall in the Hill Country is
really not too far off.
Boerneite Jimi Schroeder,
daughter of Cherry and
Gaylan Schroeder, works
from 2-10 p.m. in the Park.
She says that she has been
working at the park since a
few days before it opened to
the public. Jimi is a fresh-
man at UTSA. Her park
classification is “seasonal
entrance fee collector” and
she commented that the most
enjoyable part of her job is
meeting all the people who
stop at the park entrance
where information is
dispensed and fees are paid.
It served on Saturday for
the first aid station, too,
when a camper hobbled in
with a scorpion sting on his
toe.
White-tailed deer, coyotes,
gray fox, skunk, armadillo,
bobcat, opossom, racoon are
also inhabitants of the park.

With 105 overnight camp-

grounds have been full
“every single weekend” since
June 3.
The Guadalupe Park
includes 37 regular campsites
which feature a picnic table,
