Pedernales Falls and Texas Hills Vinyard

With a couple of free days we decided to head fro the Texas Hill Country and towed the RV to Pedernales State Park. We explored the park and hiked and biked the roads and trails in this large park. Here we are sitting on the falls overlook, the falls are small now as it has been very dry here and the county is under a burn ban. Somehow the Park got permission to allow small fires in the fire rings, walking the campgrounds at dark it became obvious that small has many meanings. It was still nice to have a fire. On one of our longer hikes the map showed a river crossing so we packed our water shoes and Michele was a trooper and made the cold crossing twice. Sprocket however had to be carried across. I'm lucky to have a wife and partner that likes this stuff.

We saw a lot of deer and I put out a bird feeder that attracted birds, I mean lots of birds and birds I could not identify. I think I will get a bird guide to keep in the Surveyor.

We also visited The Texas Hills Vineyard for a tasting and bought some kick butt cab, that's the real name of the wine. We also drove to Wimberly and visited the famous pie shop. There was a big flea market type market that was going on and all the small land owners nearby wanted five bucks to park and no dogs so Sprocket said let's move on!

Well that's it for now Bobby will be here @9:30 and we are going sailing today, need to hurry and get a fishing pole and my ditty bag ready.
