This is our second visit to McKinney Falls State Park, which is within the city limits of Austin. It has an extensive trail system.
Yesterday I walked Matey and we looped around to the Armadillo Trail.
Matey enjoyed the trail through the oak thickets, but we saw no armadillos.
The real draw for us is getting to visit our good friends Jack and Sharon. Here we are, yesterday, about to sit and eat a wonderful meal at their house. It tasted as good as it looked.
So far the only wildlife we’ve seen are the deer that regularly graze on their front lawn.
Today they came to the park.
Sharon, Matey and I walked along Onion Creek that flows through the park.
With scenery like this you would never know you were inside the city limits.
Matey and I walked the very nice Rock Shelter Trail…
which leads right under the sheltering rock used for millennia by the people who lived here. It was a very welcoming place.
Sharon met us with their truck at the Lower Falls,
an area of gorgeous rock formations where we found Bud and Jack, who’d come down to fish. Jack caught one little fish, not a keeper. Still, it was a nice afternoon.
Good friends in a beautiful setting, you can’t ask for anything more.
