We hiked up Enchanted Rock this Saturday, and Eleanor spotted this Valentine-photo-op. It was a crisp, sunny day... a great day for a hike straight up a rock! And the BBQ stop we made at Cooper's Pit in Llano topped the whole day off heartily. You should be here. Wherever you are, you should be here.
Enchanted Rock - a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome, that rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and covers 640 acres. It is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formations uncovered by erosion) in the United States. Smack in the middle of Texas hill country.
Wow, reading these posts have made me very, very jealous. BBQ, Town Lake, small class sizes, sunshine, ... Give Austin a kiss for me!

You know, they have "open reqs" here at the "jobsite". Just saying. In the future, I promise more balanced reporting as I note some of the ways Portland wins out in side by side comparisons. We'll hug the SRVaughan statue for you on our walk tonight. It'll be 76 degrees.
ReplyDeleteYou know we are all jealous up here - as we prepare for another potential snowstorm!
