It was another beautiful day. We set out for Enchanted Rock to do some hiking. Unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea and by the time we got there the park was closed, because it was at capacity. We stopped to take a picture of some road art. That is a big chicken :) Then, we drove to Old Tunnel wildlife management area. 
This is the remains of the first rail tunnel in Texas. It was built in 1913 to carry agricultural machinery and supplies from Comfort to Fredericksburg. It is now summer home to about 3 million free tailed bats. They arrive in late spring and stay until August. Some are already here. We will come back later next week to check out the bat flight. After a short hike around Old Tunnel, we decided to take a different drive home. On the way, we saw more signs of spring.
Nothing cuter than a baby goat :) This little fella was a recent arrival. He was still struggling a bit to figure out how those legs were supposed to work. We then headed out to Luckenbach, TX. We did not find Waylon, Willie and the Boys but we did find...
Yee Haw!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to get out and about. The rain sure makes things so much fresher than than drought.

SO TEXAS! Love the Luckenbach PO sign. I assume they moved the PO to somewhere else? Or did Congress in its wisdom close it??
ReplyDeleteYou made a great day out of an over crowded destination. Bet you had more fun than hiking with the hoards too.
Glad you 'spained that giant chicken was road art or I probably would have worn out my bird book trying to figure out what it was... :c)
ReplyDeleteA nice sunny day sure lifts the spirits! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is definitely pure Texas :)
