Friday Night
|
Kevin wasn't much on getting his picture taken this trip
|
|
So I set that 4-man tent up for me. Notice the wind... 40+ mph! Not a lot of warmth in there!
|
Reading the history of how the Texas State Parks started... through the CCC program.
|
|
Longhorn Cavern State Park: This was all built in the 1930s
|
|
|
I took some pics with the flash on and some without to show you how dark it was
|
|
|
|
|
This tour took about 1.5 hours. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see something "unique" in Texas.
|
I didn't see it at the time, but now this looks like a chicken!
|
This crystal room is cool, but the crystals are lighted by colorful lights - so no, these aren't blue crystals.
|
|
The dam... they built numerous dams along the Colorado River in the 30's
|
|
One Tree Hill
|
|
|
|
Saturday morning after a HUGE thunderstorm the night before
|
I decided to break down the 4-man for this 2-man tent. Much warmer! Temps got down to 30 degrees.
|
|
Looking into the entrance of Longhorn Cavern
|
|
Going into the cavern. This is a natrual land bridge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was trying to get this picture without interuption... then this meddling kid got in my way!
|
|
This cavern is on a fault line and was formed by water.
|
|
|
|
Lots of deer near our campsite
|
Draining grease from the chili. This is Saturday night's dinner.
|
|
Cooking the foil packs
|
And yes, we burned all of this and THEN SOME
|
|
|
Quartz over this fireplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is where they have concerts on Saturday night
|
|
Not too bad to be short in here
|
This is a dumb waiter they use to bring stuff down. There were a few of these.
|
|
|
This was a castle "house" between Inks Lake and the Longhorn Caverns.
|
|
|
|
More grease
