Chillin' at S. Austin State Park

We're spending fivie nights here near Seely, Texas. The area is noted as the first Texan settlement of Anglo Americans headed by Stephen Austin. He settled a tract land here and set up the city of San Filipe by decree of the Mexican government. The city never was developed other than a modest settlement, but was later destroyed to keep it from falling into the hands of the Mexican army. The Mexicans were defeated near here after the Alamo and Goliad were taken by the Mexican Army.
