Enchanted Rock

Saturday morning we decided to hike up Enchanted Rock, which is something we had been meaning to do for about two years. It's a rock formation about two hours away, north of Fredericksburg, which gives beautiful views of the hill country.
About a third of the way up.
This was the incline on the top half.

Views from the top.
We took a different route down, negotiating a rock fall.
The rock fall.
We had really nice weather for it, in the lower 70s. It would have been a little rough to do it in 100 degree heat in summer.

The Maize

Scott had flown over a corn maze (or just "The Maize"... the owners are very clever :-) and was intrigued because although you may just picture a square corn field with a maze in it, this particular one was a depiction of country legend George Strait.
It says "George Strait" at the top and beneath his picture it says "True Texan." This is a terrible picture, so we apologize. It really does look like George Strait. Or at least a man in a cowboy hat.
Scott agonizing over a fork in the road.
