We slept far better than previously, and had a breakfast of corned
beef hash and instant coffee.  Apparently, neither of my two companions had had hash
before, so I was called out to cook it.  It didn't appear to agree well with Sparky.
	We started off with an early morning like along the lakeside trails that
we hadn't had a chance to visit the prior day.  It was quite brief and ran along the 
piers and campsites.  
	Returning from that, we got in the car and toured the city of Mineral Wells,
starting with the Baker Hotel that had so fascinated Charlie.  There were several other
buildings that were also of interest that we explored, before having coffee in the
Black Horse Cafe.  The owner there showed us a very nice book detailing the history of
the town through the ages.
	After coffee, we decided to try to reach Pinto Lake, which was a hill over 
from the town.  However, it appeared the bridge was out, so after a stop by a Mineral Water
vendor, we headed to Possum Kingdom state park, an hour to the west.
	On the way, we saw a turkey, but even though we yelled at Sparky to get the
camera well in advance, he managed to essentially miss the shot.  At Possum Kingdom, we
discovered that the park had been closed to campers since February 28th, due to failure
of the water filtration plant.  They let us in anyway, and we had the run of an empty
park which lead to a rather pleasant hike.
	While driving back to town, the "Check Engine" light came on, but it was 5 pm by the
time we made it to Mineral Wells, so any mechanic would have to wait until another day. 
We stopped at Pizza Hut for dinner, however Sparky's stomach problems had apparently 
gotten worse and he didn't eat much, or keep down what he did eat.
	We stopped at the tiny three-screen theatre in town to take in "Robots" the movie,
at 6:45.  We had some time to kill so we roamed around Wal-mart for a while, which was 
actually more entertaining than one would think.  The movie was rather good, and the 
theatre itself in good condition and quite new.  
	We headed back for the night and whipped up a raging fire with the wood we had
"acquired" from Possum Kingdom.  Marshmallows were roasted, and everyone headed to bed.
