Early #Spanish #missionaries in #EastTexas were a long way from help, support, or supplies. Brave men but pretty spectacularly unsuccessful at evangelizing the locals. #mission #tejas, in the #texas #PineyWoods, commemorates their efforts. Built, as so many #Texas recreation facilities were, by the #CCC boys the park here opened in 1936 and offered #hiking, #camping, #fishing, #picnics and #history. #ElCaminoRealdeTejas runs through the park as well.
