Well here it is 2009! We can hardly believe that the new year is here. Today we spent the day at Enchanted Rock State Park. It's a huge pink granite dome in the Texas Hill country. The park is 640 acres of jumbled pink granite! It's something to see. We arrived early in the day - about 10 am. Andy and I started walking but I soon realized, with my bad knees and the cold, that I wouldn't be going to the top. Andy continued up to the top while I scouted around the base and took photos and watched all the people. After a 15 minute hike, Andy made it to the top. He said it was a work out as it gets quite steep toward the top. After Andy returned we feasted on a lunch of PB&J, pringles and bananas! A meal fit for a king & queen! After a leisurely lunch just sitting in the sun and enjoying the beautiful scenery, we headed back towards the home campground. We couldn't believe all the people trying to get into the park around 3 pm. There were probably 25 or more cars waiting in line to get into the park. We were really glad we came early. 
We drove thru some really beautiful scenery on the way back. Lots of ranches out here. Most have large, ornate locking gates, but you usually can't see the house or any buildings. Just mile upon mile of scrubby trees. We got back early enough that Andy went for a 14 mile bike ride around the park. Fortunately the first part was all up hill so the ride back home was very enjoyable! Another lovely day!
