Too bad you guys live on the surface of the sun from May to Sept! If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

If you haven't been yet, Perdenales Falls State Park near Johnson City has some real interesting rocks & hills along the river. Interesting and fun hike.

If you haven't been yet, Perdenales Falls State Park near Johnson City has some real interesting rocks & hills along the river. Interesting and fun hike. We haven't done that one, but we'll put it on the list. Every time we take a trip we just come home with more places we want to go. We didn't make it back before dark so we need to head back out that way again anyway...We planned on stopping near Llano at Packsaddle Mountain. My great-great-uncle fought the last recorded Indian battle in Texas there. You can't get to it, but it's neat to see the name on the historical marker.

I do believe I've already done all them places on a motorcycle, so much so I'm pretty sure I could do it blindfolded, and Pedernales Falls is one of the locations I haul kids to annually. Next step, especially if you've got a street-legal dirt bike, is to start hitting all the dirt roads that run between the paved ones. Only sad part to that is when you do get off pavement, the degree to which that whole area of the Hill Country is already subdivided into acreage homesites becomes apparent Birdwatcher "...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them."
