Arrived at McKinney Falls park within the city limits of Austin Sat. My has Austin changed since we left here in 1958. Yesterday cruised around Austin visiting the capital building and grounds, campus of UT where I went to school and searched for the veteran housing we used to live in, torn down long ago. The capital building and grounds are the most beautiful we have seen, lots of oil money probably helped, it's modeled after our national capital building.
The park is OK, better suited for families with children to swim and play under the falls, but very handy to tour Austin. Tomorrow we leave for the Winnebago View rally at Inks Lake about 75 miles north of here.

Pictures: Tower at UT, oak tree on the capital grounds resting it's limbs on the ground, inside the capital looking up at the dome and the capital building.
Loved the picture of the dome from inside the capital! Sounds like you got an eyeful at the last campsite, and earful as well!
ReplyDeleteMark and I met Austin and Erin (his new girl) at Great Falls today to do the Billy Goat trail. It was 1 1/2 hours of a gruelling hike on rocks and sides of rocks. I loved it! I've never sweated so much in my life. The sites from up high of the Potomac were incredible. The place was littered with people and kayakers! Would love to have joined them in the cool water.
Enjoy the rally!
