TPW MARCH MAG PREVIEW: Plan you next Texas getaway 
with a copy of this ... we have details on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

The February issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine 
featured twelve months of state park picnic possibilities. 
Managing Editor Louie Bond says the March issue takes 
things up a notch. 

So, we're sort of expanding on that February theme of picnics 
into a little longer trip, but still, I guess, in the category of mini-
vacations -- one or two day trips. We've taken three of our 
veteran writers and asked them to explore around some of our 
metropolitan areas and find some quick, cheap trips. And, I 
know 'cheap' has sort of a bad connotation, but in this day and 
age, I think it is a word we should reexamine. With gas prices 
fluctuating, and the economy a little dicey as well, we need to 
look for some inexpensive ways to have fun. So, these are trips 
that are just a few elements, like going to visit an arboretum, or 
hiking around a lake, or visiting an animal refuge. And we throw 
in a, maybe a stop at a cool restaurant along the way, or little 
tips here and there on how to expand on your fun. You'll find 
that there's thirty of these to choose from. And, there are so 
many things that you can get out and do on a weekend or a day 
off. Just pick a glorious day and pick a state park, find a cool 
destination. Cut this out, save it for another day later on, jump 
in your car and have fun. There are a million ways to enjoy 
Texas in the spring, and I think we've picked thirty great ones. .
