Enchanted Rock
I went to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area last Sunday. We had planned to go there in Saturday but put it off due to rain. It is 85 miles west to Austin and about 2 hours drive.
On the way there, we were stopped by the police for speeding. Damn. The officer said that we were driving at 77 mph on a freeway with limit 70. I was like, man, are you kidding me? I was pretty sure that we didn't reach 77. Maybe it is because the police car was driving toward us, which introduced the error. Fortunately, the officer was pretty nice, and just gave us a written warning. Thanks, God.
When we arrived there at 11:30pm, we found there was no restaurant. Asking the staff, we were told that the nearest restaurant was 17 miles away. Holy crap! Anyway, we brought some apples, chocolate, beer, Gatorade. After the simple lunch, we started climbing to the top of the rock with altitude of 1825 feet. Then we took a 4 mile long loop trail around the rock. The weather was nice and the view is awesome. I had a lot of fun. The two photos below are the views of Enchanted Rock.
