This weekend we went "primitive" camping at Enchanted Rock, about 1 1/2 hours west of Austin. This is a picture of one of the "lesser" rocks - Buzzard Rock near where we camped.
Here is Jack with his humongo backback on. We were not lacking for back aches this weekend. We basically had to haul everything, tent and all, in on our backs. It was a good hour walk in through rough terrain. We foolishly brought our cooler as well.....sorry that picture is so blurry, but it gives you an idea of what kind of lifting and hauling Jack had to do to get it to the site. We tried rolling it as often as possible, but I think he ended up carrying it more.
The white 'powder' on these cacti is actually insects. Here I have squished them between my fingers and you can see their blood in the picture.
Jack and me on Enchanted Rock - beautiful view of the countryside behind us. Louie loved the hike! Another great view behind him.
After camping we swung in to Coopers in Llano for a well-deserved lunch of the best brisket around. Coopers was featured in an earlier post....it deserved another shout out :)
