TPW TV -- PARKS: Planning a trip to a state park but don't 
know which one? We can help...on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Spring Break is almost here, and it is an ideal time to visit 
a state park with the family. This month the Texas Parks 
and Wildlife television series highlights four parks for 
your consideration, series producer, Don Cash. 

We start out at the first of the month, headed to the top of the 
hill country at Meridian State Park. A little later in the month, 
we're headed near Beaumont to Village Creek State Park. And, a 
great thing to do down there is to paddle down Village Creek. 
[paddling water] It's one of the few free flowing streams in 
Texas -- it's not dammed up anywhere -- it's a flat-water 
stream, so it's easy to canoe or kayak down. Uh, and it's a 
lot of fun. [bird call] We're also going to go to Sebastopol 
House State Historic Site in Seguin, which is a really interesting 
home made of limecrete. And, at the end of March, we're going 
to Monahans Sandhills State Park, which is in West Texas -- 
about a half hour west of Odessa. The sand dunes are 
beautiful, and mystical, and unique. Every time you come 
out here they look different. And when the wind blows, it 
stirs up the sand where it looks like ghosts are running 
along the top of the dunes. You know, if you'd like to see 
these parks ahead of time, or after the show, most the parks 
[videos] are on our website. :58

Thanks, Don. Go to passporttotexas.org for a listing of 
PBS stations that air the series.
