Welcome to Texas Hill Country

Today we decided to visit this gem of Travis County for a couple of reasons; proximity, hunger, and famous BBQ.

Out in the middle of nowhere is a special place called Hamilton Pool. Before we dipped in the swimming hole, we decided it would be best to feed our faces. I heard there was a great BBQ place called The Salt Lick which is a must visit if you enjoy eating meat of the smoky rubbed kind. Texas BBQ is not only food, it's an event. The Salt Lick is a friendly establishment that sneaks up on a driver quickly if not keeping a look out for the sign.

I'll post more pictures later on the natural pool later but the stalactite is a neat geological feature.

The mesquite trees surround us and if you look closely you can see the thorns encompassing every branch.

I will not stray off this path.
