TPW TV -- PARKS: Fall is perfect for a walk, or hike, or bike 
ride or fishing in the park ... details on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

The Parks and Wildlife television series is a menu of 
things to do outdoors. Offerings in November include: 
stories about scuba diving ... and game wardens that fight 
environmental crime ... and people who count frogs ... 

:03 -- And every show in November we're going to hit a state 
park.

Don Cash is Series Producer ... 

:59 -- And one of the state parks is down in the valley in 
Weslaco, Texas. It's Estero Llano Grande State Park, and it's part 
of the World Birding Center. On just a regular day you can sit 
on this deck for an hour or two and easily spot thirty to 
forty species of birds. And one of the big draws is not a bird, 
it's the alligators they have living in the park. Yes, we do have 
a few alligators -- they're a major attraction, and we're 
hoping that really pulls in some of the locals. Also in 
November we're going to Lake Bob Sandlin State Park which is 
about 2 hours east of Dallas. Fishing is one of the big draws 
there, obviously. They've got a small stock pond, which is great 
for kids, and then the lake itself is known for bass. Just about 
anywhere you fish could be good. There's almost not a bad 
looking spot on the lake ... a place that doesn't look like it will 
hold a bass or two. I've loved it for years. So, in November, we 
show you a lot of places to go, and a lot of things to do. And, of 
course, one of those is fall camping -- we always encourage that.

Thanks, Don. 

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm
