Rainbow Ranch Trout Farm (too late)

I just found out about a new state* park outside of Johnson City (near Austin) that is now open for limited use, with significant development planned for the near future. Turns out, though, it had been abandoned for about 10 years! It was called "Rainbow Ranch Trout Farm", and the local paper (August 2008) says it had:

...an Olympic size swimming pool, infrastructure for an RV park, a gazebo and a building.


Did anyone get pix of the site before the LCRA got hold of it? Or if anyone's in the area, they might wanna check out what's left before the authority finishes its refurb job. It looks like it's going to be a great place to camp when it's done, under its new name: Pedernales River Nature Park.

*state park, well, not exactly. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is a "Texas conservation and reclamation district operating with no taxing authority." They sell electricity from the Colorado, and use the money to build parks. They're in charge of Matagorda Beach, to the occasional consternation of the locals.

J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte.
La voici: "Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules!"
Dieu m'a exaucé.

Wish I would have know about that place when I was camping down there we could have saved some money.
