Who can visit all the state parks in Texas in the shortest period of time.
The winner will be crowned as the most traveled rider within the state (may not be true but we will make believe it is), the most informed about state history (assuming you also do the historic sites and do your homework) and shall have seen more of the state than most every other rider ever will.
RULES
Very simple.
1. Keep a personal record of where and when you visit a Texas State Park.
2. Take a photo of your bike at the entrance (it's OK if you use more than one bike to do this. (just not at the same time).
3. Several of the parks have more than one entrance. You need only visit one.
4. If for some reason the park entrance sign is not there. Take your picture at the nearest intersection showing your location.
5. On their Texas Parks web site linked below are list many Historic Sites that are NOT State Parks. You Do Not have to visit them tom win this game but I have many of them in my goal.
6. Post here the parks you visit and a picture of your bike at that park. I'm pretty sure the OP will not want us posting large photos so less keep them under a meg each.
*** The working count is now 78 State Parks, excluding those that are designated as Historic Sites only. They reach from one end of the state to the extreme other. Frequently having many miles between parks. Many are off the beaten path and take some navigating to get there.
As will will see on the Web Site the State also has a Geocache challenge
Sure adds an additional element to our game.

Please post any suggestion you have to make this more fun or doable.
